A slanted calligraphic serif with lively, drawn strokes and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms show moderate thick–thin modulation, with rounded joins and subtle entry/exit flicks that keep the rhythm fluid without fully connecting. Capitals are airy and slightly flourished, while the lowercase has a compact, pen-written feel with occasional long descenders and softly looped forms. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, using angled stress and curved strokes that read as crafted rather than geometric.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a formal handwritten voice is desired—wedding or event invitations, certificates, menu headings, and boutique packaging. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or chapter openers when paired with a quieter companion face for body copy.
The overall tone feels refined and literary, suggesting handwritten formality rather than casual note-taking. Its graceful slant and restrained flourishes evoke invitations, classic bookish headings, and traditional correspondence, balancing warmth with a composed, dignified presence.
The design appears intended to mimic controlled pen calligraphy in a practical, readable typeface: expressive enough to feel personal and classical, yet consistent enough for repeated use in display and accent text.
Stroke endings frequently resolve into small hooks or teardrop-like terminals, and counters are kept open for clarity despite the cursive influence. Spacing appears intentionally uneven in a handwritten way, adding charm and motion, especially in mixed-case settings.
