A slanted, calligraphy-influenced italic with a brushlike stroke feel and gently rounded terminals. Letterforms show moderate thick–thin modulation and soft, tapered joins that suggest a broad-nib or brush pen rather than a rigid geometric construction. Proportions are slightly compact with rhythmic, flowing curves; counters are open and the overall texture is smooth and continuous without connecting strokes. Capitals feature understated swash-like entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms stay legible with a consistent forward lean and subtle stroke flare.
It suits invitations, announcements, and event materials where an elegant handwritten impression is desired. The expressive italic rhythm also works well for branding accents, packaging, menu headings, and editorial pull quotes, especially at display and subhead sizes where the stroke character can be appreciated.
The font conveys a polished, personable formality—refined enough for classic elegance, but energetic and conversational due to its brisk slant and lively stroke endings. Its tone reads welcoming and expressive rather than stiff, with a gentle vintage or literary flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a formal handwritten look with reliable readability, combining calligraphic modulation and gentle flourishes with steady, repeatable letter shapes for consistent setting in words and short paragraphs.
Numerals follow the same italic calligraphic logic, with curved silhouettes and soft terminals that blend naturally with text. The spacing appears designed for continuous reading in short passages, keeping word shapes clear while maintaining a decorative, handwritten character.
