A slanted, calligraphic italic with softly bracketed serifs and rounded, teardrop-like terminals that give strokes a brushed, pen-made finish. Contrast is moderate, with clear thick–thin modulation and smooth, continuous curves rather than sharp breaks. Capitals lean toward decorative forms, showing subtle swash-like entries and exits, while the lowercase maintains an even, readable rhythm with compact counters and slightly varying letter widths. Figures follow the same italic stress and rounded finishing, keeping the overall texture cohesive in text.
Well-suited to invitations, announcements, and ceremonial pieces where a formal italic voice is desired. It also works effectively in packaging, display headlines, and pull quotes, especially when you want a traditional, slightly decorative texture without fully connected script lettering.
The face conveys a classic, cultured tone with a friendly warmth, balancing formality and approachability. Its flowing italic motion suggests tradition and refinement, while the softened terminals keep it from feeling overly rigid or severe.
Designed to emulate formal pen lettering in an unconnected italic, combining calligraphic contrast with robust, print-like structure. The intention appears to be a versatile display-to-short-text italic that can add elegance and a handcrafted feel while staying legible.
The set shows consistent rightward slant and a steady baseline presence, with prominent curves and gently exaggerated joins that enhance a handwritten impression. Uppercase forms are more expressive than the lowercase, making initial caps and short highlighted phrases feel especially characterful.
