A slanted, calligraphic serif with a gently hand-drawn rhythm and moderate stroke modulation. Strokes taper into pointed terminals and wedge-like serifs, with smooth, slightly variable curves that keep the texture lively rather than mechanical. Capitals are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with sweeping diagonals and soft entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms are compact with a relatively short x-height and clear, open counters. Numerals follow the same pen-like logic, featuring graceful curves and angled finishes that maintain an even, readable flow in running text.
Well-suited for book covers, chapter openers, pull quotes, and editorial headlines where a classic, handwritten sophistication is desired. It also fits invitations, certificates, and boutique branding that benefit from a graceful italic tone, and can work for short to medium passages when a lighter, more lyrical texture is acceptable.
The font conveys a cultivated, old-world elegance with a personal, handwritten ease. Its steady slant and pen-formed terminals give it a literary, editorial tone—formal enough to feel traditional, yet warm and human in texture.
The design appears intended to emulate formal pen-written lettering in an italic serif structure, balancing traditional proportions with subtle irregularities for a more personal, calligraphic presence.
The overall color on the page is light and airy, with consistent spacing and a smooth cursive-like forward motion without connecting strokes. The punctuation and dots appear crisp and small, supporting a delicate, refined text voice.
