A lightly modulated calligraphic hand with open, rounded forms and softly tapered strokes. The letters show gentle, pen-like contrast and subtle entry/exit flicks, with small, softened serif-like terminals rather than hard slab endings. Curves are generous and slightly irregular in a controlled way, giving the alphabet an organic rhythm while remaining clear and evenly spaced in text. Uppercase forms feel classical and calm, while lowercase adds a touch more movement through looping descenders and rounded bowls.
Well suited to book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and editorial accents where a human, literary feel is desired. It also fits invitations, greeting cards, and boutique packaging that benefit from a formal-handwritten tone while staying readable in short paragraphs.
The overall tone is personable and cultured, evoking a handwritten book-hand rather than casual note-taking. It reads as warm and approachable, with a lightly whimsical character that can feel storybook or artisanal without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to capture the feel of careful, pen-written lettering with refined proportions and gentle flourish, offering a readable alternative to fully connected scripts. The intent appears to balance a traditional, print-friendly structure with the warmth of hand execution.
In continuous text, the consistent stroke behavior and open counters support comfortable reading at moderate sizes, while the subtle irregularities preserve a hand-drawn presence. Numerals match the same soft, calligraphic construction with rounded curves and understated terminals.
