A slanted calligraphic serif with flowing, pen-like strokes and clear stroke modulation. The forms are relatively narrow with lively rhythm, showing tapered entry/exit strokes, subtly bracketed serifs, and occasional swash-like terminals. Curves are smooth and slightly asymmetric, and letterforms lean consistently, giving the set a cohesive handwritten-influenced texture while remaining formal and readable.
Works well for editorial headlines, book covers, and short-to-medium text where a refined, classic voice is desired. It also suits invitations, certificates, and boutique branding or packaging that benefits from a formal handwritten impression.
The overall tone feels cultured and traditional, with a graceful, written-by-hand elegance that suggests formality without becoming overly ornamental. Its movement and tapering strokes add a gentle sense of sophistication suited to literary or ceremonial settings.
Likely designed to capture the feel of formal pen calligraphy in an accessible serif italic, balancing expressive stroke endings with consistent proportions for legibility in running text and display settings.
Capitals show a restrained display character with elongated curves and angled terminals, while lowercase maintains a steady, flowing cadence with distinctive calligraphic joins and teardrop-like dots. Numerals follow the same slanted, modulated logic, reading clearly while retaining the handwritten flair.
