A slender, handwritten calligraphic face with gently slanted, pen-like strokes and subtly flared terminals. Forms are narrow and tall with a lively, variable rhythm, mixing smooth curves with slightly angular joins. Stroke contrast is present but restrained, and the overall texture stays open and breathable, helped by generous counters and a light visual footprint. Capitals are expressive and upright-leaning with simple, classical proportions, while lowercase maintains a compact x-height and fluid, drawn feel.
It works well for display settings where a refined handwritten tone is desirable—wedding or event stationery, boutique branding, product labels, editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short passages that benefit from a personal, crafted look. The light, narrow color makes it especially effective when used at moderate-to-large sizes with comfortable tracking.
The font conveys a poised, bookish elegance with a touch of whimsy—like careful hand lettering for invitations, chapter titles, or boutique packaging. Its understated flourishes and soft irregularities add warmth and personality without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to emulate neat calligraphic handwriting with controlled stroke contrast and modest flourishes, balancing legibility with an artisanal, human cadence. It aims to provide an elegant alternative to connected scripts while retaining the charm of drawn letterforms.
The numeral set follows the same handwritten logic, with rounded, slightly stylized shapes and consistent stroke behavior. Spacing and letterfit read as intentionally loose and natural, reinforcing the hand-rendered cadence in running text.
