A slanted, calligraphy-influenced serif with a light, inked texture and subtly modulated stroke weight. Forms are narrow-to-moderate with variable character widths and gently bracketed serifs that taper into curved terminals, giving the outlines a drawn, slightly irregular edge. Capitals are open and rounded with modest flourish, while the lowercase shows a steady handwritten rhythm, a single-storey “g,” and soft entry/exit strokes that keep letters distinct without connecting.
Well suited to invitations, announcements, and other formal-but-personal materials where a handwritten serif look is desired. It can also work for book covers, pull quotes, and editorial titling that benefits from an elegant, human touch; for longer text, it’s best used at comfortable sizes where the light strokes remain clear.
The tone feels classic and literary, like careful handwriting with a formal finish. Its delicate strokes and restrained flourishes read as polite and refined, lending an intimate, personal voice without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to capture the poise of italic pen lettering in a legible, typeset form—balancing calligraphic nuance with consistent proportions for practical use in display and short-form text.
Counters stay open and the baseline feel is lightly buoyant, with small variations that enhance the hand-rendered character. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with curved tops, angled stress, and gentle terminal hooks that remain consistent across the set.
