A slanted, calligraphic serif with flowing, pen-like strokes and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms show moderate thick–thin modulation, with rounded joins and soft, bracket-like transitions that suggest a steady handwritten rhythm rather than rigid construction. Capitals feature occasional flourished entry/exit strokes and subtle swashes, while lowercase forms keep a compact, upright footprint with looped ascenders and generous curves. Spacing reads lively and slightly irregular in a natural way, and the numerals share the same sweeping, handwritten structure.
This font suits invitations, announcements, and event collateral where a refined handwritten voice is desired. It also works well for boutique branding, product packaging, and editorial pull quotes or short headlines, especially when set with generous tracking or supportive, quieter body text.
The overall tone is cultured and personable—formal enough for invitations and headings, yet warm and conversational due to its handwritten cadence. Its graceful slant and soft curves evoke traditional correspondence, bookish refinement, and boutique polish.
The design appears intended to capture the poise of formal handwriting—balancing legibility with tasteful flourish—so it can add personality and elegance to display typography without becoming overly ornate.
Stroke endings often finish with teardrop-like terminals or slight hooks, giving a gentle calligraphic sparkle at larger sizes. Rounded bowls and open counters keep the texture readable despite the decorative movement, and the capitals provide a clear hierarchy for display settings.
