A slanted, serifed design with a calligraphic construction and gently tapered strokes. Serifs are fine and often slightly flared or bracketed, with smooth entry and exit terminals that keep the outlines fluid rather than rigid. Curves are open and rounded, counters are generous, and spacing feels even with a calm, readable rhythm across lines. The forms lean consistently, with a subtle handwritten modulation that adds liveliness while remaining controlled and coherent.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as book typography, magazine features, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed without excessive ornament. It also fits formal invitations, certificates, and premium packaging or branding applications that benefit from a classic, calligraphic tone.
The overall tone is refined and literary, balancing formality with a human touch. It evokes classic editorial typography and polite correspondence—expressive enough to feel personal, but restrained enough to read as cultivated and traditional.
The design appears intended to provide a polished italic with handwritten warmth—offering traditional elegance and smooth readability for longer passages while still feeling distinctive in display sizes.
Capitals are airy and slightly restrained in width, helping longer words feel graceful rather than heavy. Ascenders and descenders add a gentle vertical elegance, and the numerals share the same calligraphic slant and crisp finishing, supporting continuous text and mixed-content settings.
