A calligraphic text face with gently modulated strokes, soft curves, and a lively, hand-drawn rhythm. Terminals often flare or taper into subtle wedges, and many joins resolve into small hooks or teardrop-like finishes. Proportions feel slightly irregular in an intentional way, with rounded bowls, narrow apertures in places, and occasional looped or swashed shapes (notably in several capitals and the lower-case g). Numerals and letters share the same organic stroke logic, keeping a cohesive, pen-made texture in continuous reading.
This font suits bookish display and short-to-medium passages where a warm, crafted voice is desired—such as book covers, chapter openers, pull quotes, menus, invitations, and boutique packaging. It can also support branding systems that want an elegant, human touch while remaining legible in sentence case.
The tone is refined but playful, combining a bookish elegance with an artisanal, slightly whimsical personality. It suggests classic calligraphy interpreted for friendly, expressive text rather than strict formality.
The design appears intended to capture the character of formal pen lettering in an unconnected, readable text style, balancing decorative flourishes with consistent proportions for comfortable setting.
Capitals show more flourish and individuality than the lowercase, creating a decorative entry point without becoming fully script. The italic-like liveliness comes from curve tension and tapered ends rather than a strong slant, helping it stay readable while still feeling hand-rendered.
