A slanted calligraphic hand with smooth, brush-like strokes and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms are rounded and open, with a steady baseline rhythm and occasional swelling on curves and joins that suggests broad-pen or brush pressure. Capitals are modestly decorative with softened serifs and subtle entry/exit strokes, while lowercase remains unconnected and airy with a relatively short x-height and ascending forms that add vertical sparkle. Numerals follow the same flowing, slightly irregular stroke logic, keeping the set cohesive in text.
Well-suited to invitations, announcements, greeting cards, and short editorial passages where a refined handwritten voice is desirable. It can also support packaging, labels, and pull quotes, especially when used at moderate sizes where the tapered details and rhythmic slant remain clear.
The overall tone is warm and personable, balancing formality with an inviting, handwritten charm. It reads as expressive and human rather than rigid, with a quiet elegance suited to poetic or literary settings.
Designed to evoke a formal handwritten look with gentle calligraphic structure—expressive enough to feel personal, yet disciplined enough for readable setting in short blocks of text.
Stroke modulation is noticeable but controlled, giving the face definition without feeling sharp. The italic slant and soft terminals create a continuous sense of motion, and the slightly variable character widths contribute to a natural, written cadence.
