A slanted, calligraphic italic with clear broad‑nib influence: thick–thin modulation, tapered entry strokes, and smooth, rounded joins. Capitals are more ornate and looping than the lowercase, with occasional swash-like terminals and generous curves that create a lively rhythm. The lowercase has compact bodies and relatively short extenders-to-body proportion, with softly braced serifs and teardrop-like terminals that keep the texture continuous. Numerals follow the same angled, high-contrast logic, with rounded bowls and subtle stroke tapering.
Best suited for display roles where its flourish and contrast can be appreciated—event stationery, invitations, certificates, editorial headlines, and boutique branding. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when ample size and spacing are available, but it is most effective in titles, names, and emphasized phrases.
The overall tone is polished and ceremonious, combining old-style sophistication with a handwritten warmth. Its flowing italics and decorative capitals read as romantic and traditional rather than modern or technical.
Designed to evoke formal, handwritten calligraphy in a structured, typographic form—prioritizing elegance, rhythm, and expressive capitals while maintaining an overall consistent italic texture for display setting.
At text sizes the strong slant and contrast produce a pronounced diagonal momentum, while the more embellished capitals can become the focal point in mixed-case settings. Letterforms show consistent calligraphic stress and terminal behavior, supporting a cohesive, pen-drawn impression across letters and figures.
