This typeface is a sans with noticeable calligraphic influence: strokes swell and taper subtly, and many terminals end in angled, wedge-like cuts rather than square or fully rounded endings. The overall geometry favors soft, slightly squashed curves (especially in C, O, S, and the lowercase bowls) paired with crisp diagonal joins in letters like V, W, and Y. Uppercase forms read sturdy and compact, while the lowercase shows more gesture—single-storey a and g, a curved-shoulder r, and a lively, looped j with an angled diamond-like dot. Numerals are rounded and oldstyle-leaning in feel, with distinctive, organic curves that match the text rhythm.
It suits display-forward applications where character and rhythm are desirable—headlines, poster work, book and magazine titling, and brand identities. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when a friendly, distinctive tone is preferred over a neutral grotesk.
The tone is warm and animated, with a slightly eccentric, storybook flavor. Its angled cuts and gentle modulation add personality without becoming ornamental, giving it a distinctive, expressive voice that still reads as straightforward text type at display sizes.
The design appears intended to blend sans simplicity with hand-cut, calligraphic terminal behavior, producing an approachable, slightly retro texture for attention-grabbing typography. It prioritizes personality and rhythm in continuous text while keeping letterforms broadly familiar and readable.
Across the set, the font maintains a consistent pattern of diagonal terminal treatment and modest stroke modulation, which creates a subtle sparkle in lines of text. The overall texture is bold and dark, with open counters helping maintain clarity despite the lively shapes.
