A slanted, calligraphic roman with softly bracketed, serif-like terminals and a gently brushed stroke that creates subtle thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are broad and open, with round bowls and smoothly tapered joins that keep the texture fluid rather than rigid. Spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, giving lines a natural, handwritten cadence while maintaining consistent baseline behavior and overall polish. Numerals follow the same flowing construction, with curved entries and friendly, rounded finishes.
This font suits book and magazine titling, pull quotes, short editorial passages, and brand wordmarks that benefit from an elegant, handwritten voice. It also works well for invitations, menus, and packaging where a refined but approachable script-like feel is desired.
The tone is cultured and personable—more like neat pen lettering than formal engraving. It reads as expressive and slightly romantic, lending a human, literary character without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to bridge formal calligraphy and practical text setting: a polished, italicized hand with enough structure to typeset smoothly, yet enough stroke nuance and width variation to feel personal and crafted.
Capital forms lean toward swashy simplicity: generous curves, restrained flourishes, and clear counters that help maintain legibility in longer passages. The italic angle and rounded terminals create a continuous forward motion, especially in mixed-case text.
