A delicate, monoline-leaning sans with clearly calligraphic construction: strokes taper into needle-like points and occasionally flare into small, wedge-shaped terminals. Curves are smooth and open, with a slightly irregular, hand-drawn rhythm that shows up in angled joins and subtle stroke swelling. Uppercase forms are clean and tall with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W, Y), while round letters (O, C, G) remain spacious and evenly proportioned. Lowercase keeps a simple, readable skeleton but adds personality through pointed descenders and distinctive dots, producing a light, nimble texture in text.
Best suited for display roles such as headlines, titles, book covers, posters, and brand marks where its tapered stroke endings can read as intentional detail. It can also work for short blurbs or pull quotes when set with generous tracking and line spacing to maintain the crispness of the fine joins.
The overall tone feels airy and refined, mixing contemporary minimalism with a hint of fantasy or storybook character. The sharp tips and ink-like modulation give it a lively, expressive voice without becoming ornate, making it feel playful yet composed.
The design appears intended to provide a clean sans foundation enlivened by pen-derived terminals and subtle modulation, delivering a distinctive, characterful voice while staying relatively uncluttered. It aims to feel modern and light, with just enough calligraphic edge to stand apart in branding and titling.
The numerals and punctuation echo the same tapered, pen-like terminals, helping the set feel cohesive. In longer text, the pointed details become a recurring motif, so comfortable spacing and moderate sizes help preserve clarity while keeping the signature sparkle.
