A slanted calligraphic roman with clear broad-nib contrast, tapered entry/exit strokes, and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are unconnected but show a consistent cursive rhythm, with occasional looped forms and modest swashes in capitals and descenders. Counters are open and fairly generous, while the overall proportions feel compact vertically, giving the lowercase a small body relative to tall ascenders and descenders. Stroke modulation stays consistent across the alphabet, and the figures follow the same angled, pen-written logic with slightly varying widths.
Well-suited to display settings such as invitations, event materials, restaurant menus, and boutique branding where a handwritten-formal voice is desired. It can also work for short pull quotes or product packaging highlights, especially when given enough size and breathing room.
The tone is formal yet personable, evoking traditional handwritten correspondence and classic menu or invitation lettering. Its flowing shapes and gentle flourishes add a sense of charm and movement without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to translate the feel of a confident calligrapher’s pen into a consistent, repeatable font: expressive capitals, smooth cursive rhythm, and strong contrast for an upscale handwritten impression.
Capitals provide the most personality, with distinctive curved entry strokes and occasional decorative hooks that help create recognizable word shapes. The italic slant and contrast produce a crisp texture at larger sizes, while tighter spacing or small sizes may emphasize the busy stroke transitions in some glyphs.
