A very slender serif with a gently slanted, handwritten construction and hairline strokes. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous curves and long, tapering terminals, with small, lightly suggested serifs that feel pen-made rather than rigidly constructed. The rhythm is fluid and slightly uneven in a human way, with variable stroke endings and occasional flick-like entry/exit strokes. Counters are open and rounded, ascenders feel tall and narrow, and the overall color stays light and airy across text.
Best suited for short to medium display settings where its fine strokes can remain clear—such as invitations, poetic or literary quotes, boutique branding, packaging accents, and editorial headlines. It can also work for pull quotes and chapter openers where a light, graceful texture is desired.
The tone is intimate and expressive, evoking notes in a margin, quiet editorial elegance, and a lightly romantic sensibility. Its delicate line quality and subtle irregularities create a personal, crafted feel rather than a strictly formal, mechanical one.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif cues with a calligraphic, pen-drawn sensibility, prioritizing elegance and personal warmth over strict typographic rigidity. Its thin strokes and lively terminals suggest it was drawn to add refinement and character in display-oriented typography.
Curves in letters like C, G, O, and Q show a soft, circular motion with gentle tapering, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X) remain thin and crisp. Numerals match the same airy stroke behavior, keeping a consistent, refined lightness in mixed settings.
