A delicate, slanted calligraphic serif with a fluid, pen-like rhythm and crisp hairline strokes. Letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with gently tapered terminals, subtle stroke modulation, and a consistent rightward incline. Curves are smooth and open, counters stay clear, and joins feel continuous without connecting letters, giving the text an even, composed texture. Capitals are slightly more formal and restrained than the lowercase, which carries more movement through long ascenders, soft entry strokes, and looped forms.
Well-suited to invitations, announcements, and other formal stationery where a refined handwritten voice is desired. It can also work for short editorial accents—pull quotes, section headers, or titling—plus premium branding and packaging that benefits from a graceful, classic script-like serif.
The overall tone is polished and courteous, suggesting a formal handwritten note or classical correspondence. It reads as tasteful and intimate rather than loud, with a calm, cultivated presence that suits traditional and ceremonial contexts.
The design appears intended to capture the discipline of traditional calligraphy in a clean digital form: italic, formal, and readable, with restrained flourishes and consistent modulation for composed text setting.
Numerals follow the same italic calligraphic logic, with slender forms and gentle curvature that keeps them visually aligned with the text. The italic angle and light color make spacing and line length feel important; it looks best when given a bit of breathing room.
