A slanted, calligraphic text face with a consistent pen-angle feel and clear thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper into pointed terminals and occasional wedge-like finishes, while curves stay open and lightly cupped, giving counters an airy, readable shape. Proportions are compact and upright in structure despite the slant, with modest ascenders/descenders and a noticeably small x-height that emphasizes the capitals and long strokes. Letterforms are unconnected, with subtle irregularities and width shifts that keep the rhythm lively without becoming rough.
Well-suited for invitations, certificates, menus, and other formal collateral where a handwritten-but-polished texture is desired. It also works for editorial pull quotes, short passages in book design, and brand applications that want a classic, artisanal voice without full cursive connections.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, evoking handwritten correspondence and formal notes rather than casual marker script. Its lively, slightly theatrical stroke endings add charm and a hint of old-world personality, making the voice feel cultured and expressive. The italic flow suggests motion and elegance while remaining legible in longer phrases.
This design appears intended to capture the grace of calligraphic handwriting in an approachable, typeset form—balancing pen-driven contrast and tapered terminals with consistent construction for reliable text flow. The narrow, energetic rhythm suggests a focus on elegant messaging and display-text crossover use.
Capitals have a restrained flourish—more like calligraphic book titling than ornate script—and they pair naturally with the lowercase for sentence text. Numerals follow the same angled, pen-cut logic, with open shapes and tapered terminals that match the text texture.
