A slanted calligraphic roman with brushlike modulation and gently tapered terminals. Strokes show medium contrast with rounded joins and a soft, slightly springy baseline rhythm, giving the letters a lively handwritten regularity. Uppercase forms are compact and gracefully curved, while lowercase letters have open bowls and simple, unconnected construction; several glyphs finish with subtle flares that read like softened serifs. Numerals follow the same angled, drawn-pen logic with smooth curves and moderate, even color in text.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a refined handwritten voice is desired, such as book or chapter titles, pull quotes, editorial headings, and tasteful branding. It can also work for invitations, certificates, and packaging accents where a formal yet personal tone is important.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone with an approachable, human touch. Its italic slant and calligraphic shaping suggest formality without stiffness, making it feel polished, traditional, and quietly expressive.
The design appears intended to emulate neat, practiced calligraphy in a readable italic text style—delivering traditional elegance while keeping letterforms open and consistent for comfortable setting.
Letterforms maintain consistent angle and stroke behavior across the set, balancing legibility with visible hand influence. The overall texture is smooth and cohesive, with modest flourishes that add character without becoming decorative or ornate.
