A slender, vertically oriented calligraphic text face with crisp, slightly flared terminals and gentle stroke modulation. Curves are smooth and controlled, with narrow bowls and long, tapering stems that create an airy rhythm. Several glyphs feature looped or hooked entry/exit strokes and occasional asymmetrical details, lending a hand-drawn feel while maintaining consistent alignment and an even, readable texture in paragraphs.
This font suits display and short-to-medium text where a refined, vintage-leaning voice is desired, such as book covers, chapter openers, editorial pull quotes, invitations, and boutique branding. It also performs well in poster headlines where its distinctive capitals and tapered strokes can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels elegant and old-world, suggesting period print and formal penwork without becoming overly ornate. Subtle quirks in the curves and terminals add a light whimsy that keeps it personable and literary rather than strictly academic.
The design appears intended to capture a formal, pen-influenced texture with restrained ornamentation—prioritizing elegance, vertical rhythm, and distinctive letterforms that add personality to titles and refined reading environments.
Capitals are especially decorative, with distinctive internal curves and occasional loop-like constructions, giving headlines a strong stylistic signature. Numerals echo the same tapered, slightly calligraphic logic, with open shapes and refined terminals that stay visually consistent with the letters.
