A slanted, calligraphic serif with a lively, pen-driven rhythm and gently tapered terminals. Strokes show subtle swelling and thinning that suggests a broad-nib or pointed-pen influence rather than purely geometric construction. Forms are narrow and open, with rounded bowls, softly curved joins, and occasional sweeping entry/exit strokes that add motion without connecting letters. Capitals are tall and slightly condensed with understated serifs, while lowercase letters keep a compact, readable core and expressive ascenders/descenders; numerals follow the same angled, lightly modulated style.
Works well for short-to-medium passages where an elegant handwritten voice is desired, such as editorial headlines, pull quotes, book or chapter titles, invitations, and boutique branding. It can also support readable display text when a refined, scripted feel is preferred over a fully connected script.
The font conveys a cultured, literary tone—graceful and slightly theatrical, like formal handwriting used for titles or quotations. Its slant and soft stroke modulation create a sense of momentum and personal touch, leaning more poetic than technical.
Likely designed to provide a formal handwritten impression with dependable legibility—capturing the cadence of calligraphy while staying structured enough for composed text settings.
The overall texture is light and airy, with consistent diagonal stress and a smooth baseline flow that helps text feel continuous even though the letters remain unconnected. Angular letters like k, v, w, and x show brisk, calligraphic cuts, while curves (o, e, g, s) remain generously open for clarity.
