A slanted, calligraphic serif with a consistent rightward lean and softly modulated strokes. Letters feature bracketed, slightly wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals that suggest a broad-nib or pen-influenced construction rather than rigid geometry. Curves are generous and a bit irregular in a human way, with lively entry/exit strokes, a narrow overall footprint, and open counters that keep the texture readable. The numerals follow an oldstyle feel with flowing shapes and varying heights, matching the text’s rhythm.
It suits short-to-medium text settings where an elegant, handwritten impression is desirable—editorial pull quotes, book and magazine titling, invitations, certificates, and boutique branding. It can also work for brief passages of text when paired with ample leading and comfortable sizing.
The font conveys a cultured, bookish tone—graceful and slightly romantic, with a handcrafted warmth. Its movement and gentle irregularities feel personal and expressive without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to emulate formal pen lettering in a typographic, repeatable form—prioritizing graceful rhythm, classic proportions, and a refined calligraphic presence for sophisticated display and editorial use.
Uppercase forms show understated flourish (notably in Q, J, and S), while lowercase keeps a steady, cursive-like cadence without connecting strokes. The texture on the page reads smooth and continuous, with clear word shapes and a modest sparkle from sharp serifs and tapered joins.
