A slanted calligraphic roman with smooth, flowing strokes and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms show a consistent pen-like rhythm with rounded joins, subtle entry/exit strokes, and occasional looped or hooked details (notably in capitals and descenders). Capitals are prominent and slightly flourished, while lowercase keeps a compact body with ascending strokes that lean forward and descenders that extend with a soft curve. Numerals follow the same cursive logic, with open counters and lightly finished ends that preserve an even, airy color in text.
Well suited to invitations, announcements, and greeting cards where a formal handwritten voice is desired. It also works as an accent face for editorial pull quotes, chapter openers, and premium packaging or labels, especially at medium to large sizes where the cursive details remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and graceful, suggesting traditional handwriting used for ceremonial or literary settings. Its forward slant and restrained ornamentation create a sense of motion and polish without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to emulate polished, formal penmanship with a clear italic momentum and tasteful flourishes. The emphasis appears to be on readable elegance—delivering a calligraphic feel that remains consistent and controlled in longer lines of text.
Spacing and letterfit appear tuned for continuous reading, producing a smooth diagonal texture line-to-line. Stroke modulation is present but controlled, and the design avoids sharp angles in favor of rounded, calligraphic curves that keep the texture soft.
