A slanted calligraphic text face with serif-like terminals and smoothly tapered strokes that suggest a broad-pen or flexible nib influence. Forms are open and rounded, with gentle modulation between thick and thin and a consistent rightward lean. Capitals are more sculpted and display-like, featuring curved entry/exit strokes and occasional swashes, while lowercase keeps a readable, upright-to-italic rhythm with looped ascenders and softly finished joins. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with flowing curves and angled stress that match the letterforms.
Well-suited for short to medium-length text where an elegant handwritten voice is desired, such as invitations, announcements, greeting cards, and boutique packaging. It can also work for editorial pull quotes, chapter openers, or titling where a refined italic calligraphic texture adds personality without becoming overly ornamental.
The overall tone is polished and classic, evoking bookish, formal handwriting rather than casual marker script. It feels inviting and human while maintaining a composed, slightly ceremonial character suitable for elevated, tasteful typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a formal handwritten aesthetic with dependable readability: expressive capitals, restrained flourishes, and consistent stroke modulation that reads smoothly in paragraphs while still feeling crafted and personal.
Spacing and rhythm feel intentionally varied in a handwriting-like way, giving lines a lively texture. Many terminals finish with subtle hooks or flares, and rounded characters (C, O, e, o) emphasize a smooth, continuous motion that reinforces the script-like cadence without connecting letters.
