A slanted calligraphic serif with a brushed, pen-like construction and moderate stroke modulation. Forms show tapered terminals, occasional teardrop-like finishes, and gently swelling curves that create a rhythmic, handwritten texture. Capitals are slightly more formal and compact, while lowercase is more fluid and looped, with ascenders that lean forward and rounded bowls that stay open for clarity. Numerals follow the same italicized, calligraphic logic, with soft entry/exit strokes and a consistent baseline flow.
This font works well for invitations, announcements, certificates, and boutique branding where a formal handwritten feel is appropriate. It can also serve for editorial titling, pull quotes, and short paragraphs in settings that benefit from an elegant, traditional voice.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking formal handwriting and classic book typography. Its energetic slant and sweeping terminals add warmth and personality, giving text a graceful, human cadence without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to capture the look of careful, formal penmanship—smooth, forward-leaning, and slightly embellished—while maintaining enough regularity to read comfortably in running text.
Letterspacing appears comfortable in text, with a continuous rightward motion that helps lines feel cohesive. The design balances decorative cues (soft swashes and tapered endings) with relatively steady proportions, making it suitable for both display and short-to-medium passages where a calligraphic voice is desired.
