A slanted, calligraphic handwritten with crisp thick–thin modulation and smooth, brushlike curves. Capitals are expressive and slightly irregular, with occasional entry/exit swashes and looped terminals, while lowercase forms stay unconnected but maintain a consistent cursive rhythm. Counters are generally open, strokes taper into fine points, and several glyphs show gentle asymmetry that reinforces a hand-drawn character. Figures are similarly italic and high-contrast, with curved, calligraphy-style forms rather than rigid lining geometry.
Best suited to display settings where the stroke contrast and swashy shapes can be appreciated—such as invitations, boutique branding, packaging accents, book or chapter titles, and short pull quotes. It will also work for logo words and signage that benefits from a crafted, calligraphic feel, while longer passages may require generous size and spacing for comfortable reading.
The overall tone feels formal yet personable—like careful pen lettering used for invitations or literary headings. Its lively swashes and angled movement add a touch of charm and drama without becoming overly ornate, giving it a romantic, boutique sensibility.
The font appears designed to emulate formal pen lettering with a confident italic sweep, pairing dramatic capitals with more restrained, readable lowercase. Its goal is to deliver an elegant, handcrafted voice that stands out in display typography while retaining a coherent calligraphic rhythm across letters and numbers.
The design leans on gesture and stroke dynamics more than strict typographic uniformity, so texture varies slightly from letter to letter in a way that reads intentional and handwritten. The italic angle and tapered terminals create strong forward motion, and the decorative capitals can become a focal point when used at larger sizes.
