A flowing, right-leaning calligraphic serif with softly tapered strokes and rounded terminals. Letterforms are built from broad, brush-like curves with moderate stroke modulation and prominent, bracketed serifs that create a sculpted silhouette. Capitals show restrained swash accents and curling entry strokes, while lowercase maintains a consistent rhythm with gently varied widths and open counters. Numerals follow the same italicized, calligraphic logic, with smooth curves and slightly ornamental endings.
Well-suited for display and short-to-medium text where a classic, crafted feel is desirable—such as book covers, editorial headlines, invitations, certificates, and premium product packaging. It can also support brand marks and signage that benefit from an elegant, calligraphic serif presence.
The overall tone feels traditional and refined, with a warm, storybook character. Its gentle flourishes and soft curves add a sense of craft and ceremony without becoming overly ornate, suggesting heritage, formality, and a touch of romance.
Likely intended to evoke a formal handwritten look translated into a sturdy, readable serif—combining calligraphic movement with confident weight for impactful titles and expressive typography.
The design favors rounded joins and teardrop-like thickening in curves, giving text a slightly bouncy, hand-rendered texture. In longer passages it reads as a decorative text face, where the strong slant and swashy capitals become part of the visual voice.
