A slanted, calligraphic serif with gently modulated strokes and tapered, pen-like terminals. Letterforms show bracketed, wedge-like serifs, rounded entry/exit strokes, and occasional swash inflections—especially in capitals—while maintaining consistent spacing and a steady baseline. The texture is airy and rhythmic, with open counters and softly curving diagonals that give words a fluid, handwritten cadence without connecting strokes.
Works well for short to medium-length text where an elegant handwritten impression is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, pull quotes, book or chapter titling, and premium packaging. It can also support display use in branding elements that benefit from a classic, calligraphic voice.
The font conveys a formal, literary tone with a personable, handwritten warmth. Its elegant slant and subtle flourishes evoke invitations, certificates, and classic correspondence, balancing refinement with approachability.
Likely designed to mimic formal penmanship: a readable italic with controlled contrast and restrained swashes, suitable for setting refined text while still feeling human and crafted.
Capitals are notably expressive with curved strokes and occasional looped or extended terminals, creating strong initial-letter presence. Numerals appear oldstyle-inspired in feel, with curving forms and varying heights that reinforce the calligraphic character.
