A slanted, calligraphy-influenced roman with gently tapered strokes and subtly bracketed serifs. Letterforms show a steady rhythmic flow and modest stroke modulation, with smooth curves and slightly flared terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming ornate. Proportions lean classical: capitals are open and round (notably C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase uses compact, neat shapes with a single-storey a and g and a narrow, looped f. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and ascenders/descenders that blend naturally with running text.
Well-suited to editorial settings, book and magazine typography, and pull quotes where a graceful italic voice is needed. It also fits invitations, menus, and boutique branding that benefit from a traditional, handwritten elegance without full script connectivity.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, suggesting traditional penmanship and bookish refinement. It feels personable and human, but controlled—more formal correspondence than casual note-taking.
The design appears intended to evoke formal pen-drawn lettering in a typographic, text-ready form—balancing calligraphic character with the structure and consistency needed for longer passages.
The slant is consistent across the set, and the joins remain unconnected, preserving clarity in continuous text. Curved letters and diagonals (v, w, y) show a soft, hand-led swing that adds charm, while counters stay open enough for comfortable reading at moderate sizes.
