A lightly drawn, narrow handwritten face with a steady upright stance and gently modulated stroke weight. Letterforms show tapered starts and finishes, soft curves, and occasional looped or hooked terminals that suggest a pen-and-ink construction. Proportions are compact with a relatively small x-height, while ascenders and descenders add vertical liveliness. Spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, creating an organic rhythm that still reads as a coherent, repeatable hand.
Works well for short to medium passages where a handmade, slightly classic flavor is desired—such as book titles, chapter openers, packaging copy, café menus, event pieces, and label systems. It is especially effective as a display face or as an accent font paired with a simpler text companion.
The overall tone is charming and slightly antiquarian, like a neat hand used in storybooks, labels, or personal notes. Its curly terminals and uneven human cadence add warmth and personality without turning into fast cursive.
The design appears intended to capture a careful, formal hand-rendered look: distinct, unconnected letters with pen-like contrast and decorative terminals, balancing readability with a gentle ornamental touch.
Capitals lean on simple calligraphic gestures—rounded bowls, modest swashes, and softened serifs—while lowercase stays open and legible with distinctive single-storey forms and modest loops. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with curved strokes and occasional hooked ends that keep them consistent with the alphabet.
