A delicate, contrasted sans with slender stems and pronounced tapering at joins and terminals. Curves are smooth and open, while many strokes end in sharp, wedge-like points that create a crisp, cut-paper feel. Proportions lean slightly narrow with generous internal space, and the rhythm alternates between long hairline-like strokes and thicker curves, giving a lively, hand-drawn energy without becoming fully script. Numerals and capitals share the same pointed finishing and light, refined construction, keeping the overall color of text bright and breathable.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium passages where its tapered terminals and contrast can be appreciated at size—such as posters, book covers, packaging, and distinctive branding. It can also work for pull quotes and section headings in editorial design when paired with a calmer text face for longer reading.
The font conveys an airy, elegant tone with a subtle whimsical edge. Its sharp, tapered endings add drama and a slightly mystical or storybook character, while the clean sans structure keeps it contemporary rather than ornate. The overall impression is refined and light, with a gentle sense of motion.
Likely designed to blend a clean sans foundation with calligraphic tapering to produce a refined display voice. The goal appears to be visual sparkle and personality—sharp terminal accents and elegant contrast—while maintaining straightforward letterforms for broad stylistic compatibility.
Diagonal letters (like V, W, X, Y) emphasize the spurred, blade-like terminals, creating strong sparkle in display settings. In text, the contrast and tapering introduce a textured line that can feel expressive and slightly irregular, more like a stylized pen-cut than a geometric construction.
