A tall, monoline display face with rounded shoulders and softly squared curves, giving the alphabet a narrow, vertical posture. Strokes stay consistently thin with minimal contrast, while many letters feature looped or curled terminals and occasional interior echoes (notably in a few capitals), adding ornament without becoming connected script. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are generally open, and the overall rhythm is airy with generous sidebearing feel in text settings despite the condensed letterforms.
Best used at display sizes where the thin strokes and ornamental terminals can stay crisp. It suits headlines, short passages, packaging, café menus, event materials, and branding that benefits from a distinctive, vintage-leaning voice; for longer text, it works more as an accent than a primary reading face.
The tone reads whimsical and slightly theatrical, blending a vintage display sensibility with a hand-drawn charm. Its delicate lines and quirky curls create an elegant-but-playful mood that feels suited to boutique, retro, or story-led design.
The design appears intended to provide a distinctive, narrow display alphabet with hand-crafted elegance—pairing monoline simplicity with just enough flourish to feel bespoke and memorable. The consistent vertical proportions and repeated curled details suggest a focus on decorative titling and characterful wordmarks.
Several glyphs lean into decorative entry/exit strokes (such as curled tops or hooked tails), which makes the font feel more illustrative than purely utilitarian. Numerals follow the same tall, slender logic, with a few having distinctive curled terminals that reinforce the personality in headlines.
