A slanted, calligraphic serif design with tapered strokes and noticeable (but not extreme) thick–thin modulation. Letterforms show a pen-like construction: entry and exit strokes often narrow to points, curves swell smoothly, and many terminals finish in small hooked or flicked gestures. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with moderate ascenders and descenders and a steady baseline rhythm; capitals are slightly more expansive and flowing than the lowercase, and spacing reads comfortable in text. Numerals share the same handwritten italics logic, with open bowls and angled stress that keeps them visually consistent with the letters.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book or magazine titling, and pull quotes where an elegant, handwritten-italic flavor is desired. It also fits formal stationery applications such as invitations, certificates, and announcements, and can work as a refined brand accent in logos or packaging when used at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, evoking formal correspondence, classic publishing, and traditional calligraphy. Its lively slant and tapered terminals add a sense of motion and warmth while staying composed and dignified.
This font appears designed to translate broad-nib or pointed-pen calligraphy into a readable italic text style, balancing expressive terminals and pen-driven contrast with consistent proportions and even paragraph color.
The design maintains consistent slant and contrast across the alphabet, creating a cohesive texture in paragraphs. Swash-like terminals appear selectively (notably in capitals and some lowercase), adding character without turning the text into a fully decorative script.
