A slanted, calligraphic text face with smooth, continuous curves and gently tapered terminals that suggest a broad-pen or brush influence. Strokes show moderate contrast and a consistent rightward rhythm, with rounded joins and subtly swelling curves that keep counters open and readable. Letterforms are slightly variable in width, with a lively baseline and soft, informal finishing strokes rather than sharp serifs.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display settings where a refined handwritten voice is desired, such as invitations, boutique branding, packaging accents, and editorial headlines or pull quotes. It can also work for small blocks of emphasis text when generous size and spacing preserve its fluid details.
The overall tone feels elegant and personable—formal enough for polished display, but with a warm, handwritten character. Its flowing italic motion and soft terminals convey a classic, literary sensibility with a touch of casual charm.
Likely designed to provide a legible, connected-by-rhythm (but not fully script-joined) calligraphic alternative to standard italics—capturing hand-drawn elegance while maintaining consistent, typographic structure for practical composition.
Capitals are expressive and slightly more embellished than the lowercase, creating a clear hierarchy for headings and initials. Numerals follow the same cursive slant and smooth stroke behavior, keeping text and figures visually cohesive.
