A slanted, calligraphic serif with delicate strokes and softly tapered terminals. Letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in footprint with a lively, hand-driven rhythm and subtle irregularities that keep lines from feeling mechanical. Counters are open and rounded, joins are smooth, and curves are drawn with a light touch; ascenders feel tall and prominent relative to the compact lowercase body. Capitals are simple and clean with understated flourishes, while the lowercase shows more written movement, including looped descenders and a gently curling ‘f’ and ‘g’ style.
Well-suited for invitations, announcements, and other ceremonial print where an elegant handwritten voice is desired. It can also support editorial pull quotes, chapter openers, and short passages where its airy texture and calligraphic motion can be appreciated without demanding long-form reading.
The overall tone is graceful and cultured, with a quiet, bookish warmth. It reads as formal yet approachable—more poetic than corporate—suggesting handwritten refinement rather than strict historical reproduction.
This design appears intended to deliver a polished handwritten impression—calligraphic in spirit but restrained enough to function as a readable text face for display-to-short-text settings. Its proportions and gentle stroke shaping aim to balance sophistication with an easy, personal cadence.
At text sizes the thin hairlines and flowing shapes create a bright page color, while the steady rightward slant adds momentum and helps words knit together without actual connections. Numerals follow the same light, drawn quality and sit comfortably alongside the letters.
