A calligraphic, hand-drawn italic with tapered, brush-like strokes and subtly uneven edges that suggest a pen or flat brush. Letterforms are relatively narrow with lively modulation, showing medium contrast between thickened downstrokes and slimmer connecting curves. Terminals often finish in pointed or wedge-like tips, and several strokes carry a slight flare that reads like small, informal serifs. Overall rhythm is consistent but intentionally organic, with gentle irregularities in width and curvature that keep the texture animated in both caps and lowercase.
Works well for short to medium passages where a handcrafted, classic voice is desired, such as book titles, pull quotes, menus, labels, and boutique packaging. The strong italic movement and tapered detailing make it particularly effective for display sizes, while careful spacing is helpful in denser text settings to preserve clarity.
The tone feels storybook and old-world, with a warm handmade character rather than strict formality. Its energetic slant and brushy tapering give it a theatrical, slightly medieval flavor that can feel playful or rustic depending on context.
The design appears intended to evoke formal calligraphy interpreted through a natural hand, balancing readable letter shapes with expressive tapering and slight irregularity. It aims to deliver an antique, narrative feel while remaining coherent across full alphabet, numerals, and continuous text.
Uppercase forms carry strong calligraphic presence and can appear more decorative than the lowercase, especially in rounded letters with sweeping bowls. Numerals maintain the same tapered, handwritten construction, keeping a cohesive texture across mixed text and headings.
