A delicate, airy display face with slender, low-contrast strokes and generous spacing. Many letters feature distinctive inward-curving, teardrop-like terminals and small looped swashes that read as controlled pen flourishes rather than sharp serifs. Curves are smooth and open, with rounded bowls and slightly softened joins; diagonals are clean and the overall stance remains upright. Uppercase forms carry most of the ornament, while the lowercase is simpler and more streamlined, keeping text legible in short passages.
Best suited to headlines, logos, invitations, and other short to medium-length settings where the distinctive terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or packaging copy when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing to preserve its airy clarity.
The tone is formal but playful—like a modernized, storybook calligraphy with a light touch. Its recurring curled terminals add a decorative cadence that feels graceful and a bit theatrical without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to blend approachable readability with a unique calligraphic signature, using repeated curled terminals to add charm and memorability. It aims to deliver a refined display voice that feels handcrafted yet consistent and contemporary.
The font’s personality is driven by consistent terminal treatment across many capitals (notably in letters like A, B, D, E, F, and T), creating a recognizable signature in headings and initials. Numerals appear simple and readable, matching the light, rounded construction and maintaining the same refined, understated rhythm.
