A slanted calligraphic serif with fluid, pen-like construction and gently modulated strokes. Letterforms combine smooth curves with tapered terminals and small entry/exit strokes that create a continuous, forward-moving rhythm without connecting letters. Capitals are comparatively decorative, featuring looped and occasionally swashy forms, while lowercase maintains compact proportions and a small x-height that emphasizes ascenders and descenders. Counters are rounded and open, and the overall texture reads smooth and lightly theatrical rather than rigidly geometric.
Best suited to short-form display such as invitations, greeting cards, quotes, chapter openers, and boutique brand marks where its swashy capitals can shine. It also works for subheads and pull quotes when set with generous tracking and leading to preserve clarity.
The tone is polished and expressive, evoking traditional handwriting used for formal notes and ceremonious typography. Its soft flourishes and italic cadence suggest a romantic, classic sensibility suited to invitations and upscale branding rather than utilitarian copy.
The design appears intended to provide a formal handwritten look with controlled calligraphic contrast and ornamental capitals, offering an elegant, traditional voice for celebratory and premium-facing typography.
The numeral set follows the same calligraphic logic with angled stress and subtle tapering, helping maintain a consistent voice across mixed text. At text sizes the compact lowercase and pronounced slant create a lively line, with capitals providing strong, decorative emphasis when used sparingly.
