A slanted, calligraphic serif with a broad-pen feel and gently modulated strokes. Letterforms show wedge-like, bracketed serifs and rounded joins that create a soft, sculpted silhouette rather than sharp, mechanical edges. Curves are generous and slightly inflated, with narrow-to-wide transitions that add rhythm across words; diagonals and bowls carry a consistent forward motion. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with flowing curves and subtle entry/exit strokes that keep the set cohesive in text.
Works best for short to medium-length text where a distinctive, classic voice is desired—headlines, pull quotes, packaging, and editorial titling. It can also support cover typography and branded wordmarks when a refined yet approachable calligraphic impression is needed.
The overall tone is traditional and personable—suggesting vintage print, literary warmth, and a human touch. Its energetic italic posture and rounded forms give it a friendly elegance that feels crafted rather than formal or austere.
The font appears intended to emulate formal handwriting rendered with a broad nib, combining traditional serif structure with lively, forward-leaning movement. It prioritizes expressive texture and vintage editorial character over strict geometric regularity.
The design maintains strong visual continuity between capitals, lowercase, and figures, with noticeable bounce from varied letter widths and prominent curved strokes. The texture in paragraphs reads smooth and dark, with distinctive serif shapes helping maintain character at display sizes.
