A slanted, calligraphic text face with a fluid, pen-driven rhythm and gently tapered strokes. Letterforms are open and lightly built, with modest contrast and soft, rounded joins that keep the texture even in running lines. Serif-like entry and exit strokes appear as small wedges and brackets, giving many characters a subtle handwritten finish rather than a rigid, constructed feel. Proportions are relatively compact with a low x-height, and the overall spacing reads airy and graceful.
It suits short-to-medium text where an elegant handwritten impression is desired: invitations and announcements, pull quotes, book or magazine headings, and boutique branding or packaging. It can also work for certificates, menu sections, or display lines that benefit from a refined, flowing texture.
The font conveys a cultivated, literary tone—polished and expressive without becoming ornamental. Its steady slant and soft terminals create a sense of movement and warmth, suggesting personal correspondence, classical notes, or refined editorial styling.
The design appears intended to capture formal handwriting with consistent typographic regularity—balancing legibility and a graceful, calligraphic gesture. It prioritizes a cohesive, pen-written rhythm that reads smoothly in phrases while remaining expressive in capitals.
The uppercase set shows gentle, calligraphic swashes and curved strokes that pair naturally with the more restrained lowercase. Numerals follow the same italicized, pen-like logic, blending smoothly into text settings and reinforcing the handwritten character.
