A slanted, calligraphic serif with gently modulated strokes and a consistent, pen-driven rhythm. Letterforms show soft, bracketed serif-like terminals and tapered joins, with rounded counters and slightly irregular curves that keep the texture lively without looking rough. Proportions lean narrow and compact, with a noticeably small x-height against taller ascenders, giving lines a graceful, vertical sparkle. Numerals and capitals share the same flowing, handwritten logic, with smooth entry/exit strokes and subtly varied widths that create a natural, written cadence.
Well-suited for literary and editorial settings where a handwritten formality is desired, such as book covers, pull quotes, or magazine features. It can also serve invitations, certificates, and boutique branding where an elegant, human touch is needed. Best used at medium to larger sizes to let the subtle stroke modulation and terminals remain clear.
The overall tone feels refined and bookish, like careful handwriting done with a flexible nib. It reads as classic and cultured rather than casual, adding a gentle sense of ceremony and warmth. The slant and soft terminals contribute a personable, human presence while maintaining a formal, composed voice.
Designed to emulate formal, unconnected handwritten letterforms with a controlled slant and modest flourish. The goal appears to be a readable, text-capable calligraphic voice that balances refinement with a naturally written texture.
Spacing appears open enough for continuous text, and the consistent slant helps lines hold together as a cohesive texture. The more expressive capitals add emphasis and personality, while lowercase maintains an even rhythm suited to paragraph settings.
