A delicate, calligraphic italic with tall proportions and a noticeably narrow footprint. Strokes are thin and tapering, with smooth, pen-like modulation and gentle entry/exit terminals rather than blunt endings. Curves are open and lightly tensioned, and many letters show subtle swash-like movement—especially in descenders and diagonal joins—creating an active, flowing rhythm without connecting scripts. Numerals and capitals follow the same slender, slightly irregular handwritten logic, keeping the overall texture light and spacious.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its fine strokes and narrow forms can be appreciated—such as invitations, boutique branding, chapter openers, pull quotes, and elegant packaging. It can also work for headings and subheads paired with a sturdier text face, especially in layouts that allow extra size and leading.
The tone is graceful and literary, with a quiet formality that feels handwritten rather than mechanical. Its slender, leaning forms read as intimate and expressive, suggesting correspondence, invitations, and cultured editorial settings.
The design appears intended to emulate formal handwritten lettering with a controlled, calligraphic cadence: light, narrow, and rhythmically italic, prioritizing elegance and nuance over dense text utility.
Uppercase forms are relatively simple and upright-leaning with understated flourish, while lowercase letters introduce more cursive motion through loops and extended ascenders/descenders. The overall color on the page stays pale due to the fine strokes, so it benefits from generous sizing and comfortable line spacing.
