A slim, monoline display face with tall, slightly condensed proportions and softly rounded curves. Strokes keep a largely even weight while terminals often finish with subtle flares or wedge-like tips, giving many letters a gentle calligraphic snap without full stroke contrast. Uppercase forms are elongated and airy, with open counters and occasional asymmetries that read as hand-drawn rather than geometric. Lowercase maintains a modest x-height with long ascenders/descenders, and the figures are simple and upright, matching the letterforms’ narrow, vertical stance.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its tall proportions and decorative terminals can be appreciated—titles, pull quotes, packaging fronts, and identity wordmarks. It can work for brief passages in larger sizes, but its narrow forms and stylized details are most effective when not forced into small, dense text.
The overall tone is playful and old-fashioned, like careful hand lettering for a book cover or a period sign. Its slight irregularities and flared endings add charm and personality, projecting an expressive, crafted feel rather than a strictly neutral voice.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke a crafted, calligraphic handwriting impression with a refined, slightly theatrical flavor. It prioritizes personality and a lightly ornamental finish while staying readable and consistent across the alphabet and numerals.
Rhythm is driven by vertical stems and narrow apertures, with a noticeable mix of straight strokes and softly bowed curves that keeps text lively. The design favors elegance over density, so it looks best when given breathing room in tracking and line spacing.
