A slender, calligraphic serif with a delicate stroke and gently modulated contrast. The letterforms are tall and narrow, with small bracketed serifs and frequent hooked or looped terminals that give strokes a drawn, pen-like finish. Curves are softly tapered and slightly irregular in a controlled way, creating a lively rhythm without breaking legibility. Capitals are narrow and stately, while the lowercase shows distinctive ascenders and descenders with occasional swashes and teardrop-like endings; numerals follow the same thin, graceful construction.
This font suits display settings where an elegant, slightly fanciful voice is helpful—book and chapter titles, invitations and announcements, boutique packaging, posters, and short pull quotes. It can also work for brief passages at comfortable sizes when a light, literary texture is desired.
The overall tone is refined yet playful, blending a formal, classical feel with a lightly whimsical, handwritten charm. Its airy texture and decorative terminals suggest a literary, old-world mood rather than a strictly modern or technical one.
The design appears intended to emulate formal hand lettering in a light, narrow silhouette, combining classic serif structure with subtle calligraphic flourishes. It prioritizes grace and personality through tapered strokes and expressive terminals while maintaining a consistent, readable framework.
Spacing appears relatively open for such narrow forms, helping the thin strokes stay readable in text. The design relies on verticality and terminal flourishes for personality, so it reads as more expressive than utilitarian.
