A slanted, calligraphic serif with softly bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and gently tapered stroke endings. The letterforms keep a consistent, low-contrast texture while showing subtle, hand-led modulation in curves and diagonals. Proportions feel open and readable, with slightly generous bowls and smooth, flowing contours that create an even, lively rhythm in text. Numerals echo the same softened, pen-like construction with rounded turns and modest flare at terminals.
Well-suited to editorial typography and book interiors where a friendly, classic serif texture is desired, as well as headlines that benefit from a gentle calligraphic flair. It can also support invitations, labels, and boutique branding where warmth and refinement need to coexist.
The overall tone feels warm and literary, with an approachable, human voice that suggests personal correspondence and classic bookish charm. Its slant and soft detailing give it a quietly expressive presence without becoming overly ornate.
The font appears designed to capture a formal, pen-influenced serif look that remains highly legible in continuous reading. Its softened terminals and restrained contrast aim to deliver elegance and personality while keeping a calm, consistent typographic color.
The design balances structure and spontaneity: forms are clearly serifed and disciplined, yet curves and entry/exit strokes retain a lightly handwritten feel. The italic angle is steady across caps and lowercase, helping maintain cohesion in longer passages.
