A slanted calligraphic serif with smooth, written strokes and gently tapered terminals. The letterforms show modest modulation and a steady pen-driven rhythm, with rounded joins, bracketed serifs, and occasional loops and entry/exit strokes that create a flowing texture without fully connecting characters. Proportions are moderately narrow with open counters, and the capitals introduce restrained flourish—especially in curved forms—while maintaining consistent spacing and a cohesive cursive cadence.
This style suits invitations, greeting cards, and event materials where a formal handwritten feel is desired. It also works well for boutique branding, packaging accents, pull quotes, and short headlines where its flourishes can be appreciated without compromising clarity.
The overall tone feels classic and cultivated, suggesting formal handwriting and traditional correspondence. Its soft curves and subtle flourishes give it a romantic, slightly old-world character that reads as personable yet polished.
The design appears intended to capture the look of careful, formal penmanship—clean and legible, but enriched with tasteful calligraphic gestures for a more expressive voice than a standard italic serif.
Distinctive swash-like details appear in several capitals and in letters with descenders, adding decorative movement at word edges. Numerals share the same handwritten logic, with curved strokes and occasional terminal curls that keep them stylistically aligned with the alphabet.
