A slender, right-leaning calligraphic text face with tapered strokes and gently swelling curves that create a lively, pen-driven rhythm. Capitals are relatively tall and slightly decorative, with occasional entry/exit flicks, while lowercase forms stay open and fluid with modest ascenders and longer, looping descenders. The overall texture is airy and lightly inked, with subtle irregularities that keep it feeling drawn rather than strictly mechanical. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, mixing smooth curves and delicate terminals for a cohesive, flowing color in text.
Works well for display and short-to-medium text where a handwritten, cultured voice is desired—book and magazine titling, pull quotes, event materials, and boutique brand identities. It is especially effective when set with generous spacing and line height to let the delicate strokes and swashy descenders breathe.
The tone reads formal yet personable—like carefully written correspondence or a literary title page. Its slanted, lightly flourishing strokes give it a cultured, slightly romantic character, suggesting tradition and craft without tipping into heavy ornament.
Likely intended to capture the look of formal pen lettering in an italic text style—combining legibility with a crafted, human cadence. The design emphasizes elegance and movement through tapered strokes, modest flourishes, and a consistent handwritten rhythm across letters and figures.
In running text, the narrow set and italic motion emphasize forward movement and line-to-line continuity, while the short lowercase body height relative to ascenders/descenders adds a graceful, vertical lilt. Rounded forms (like O/Q and 8/9) are soft and calligraphic, and several letters show distinctive terminal flicks that become more apparent at larger sizes.
