A slanted calligraphic serif with smooth, connected stroke logic and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show subtle-to-moderate contrast and a consistent broad-pen feel, with rounded, teardrop-like terminals and softly tapered joins. Capitals are slightly embellished and rhythmic, while lowercase forms remain open and readable, with a steady baseline flow and calm, even spacing across words.
Performs well in display and short-to-medium text where a refined, handwritten impression is desired—wedding and event invitations, boutique branding, packaging labels, pull quotes, and editorial subheads. It can also suit longer passages when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing to preserve its airy, calligraphic rhythm.
The overall tone is traditional and personable—polished enough for formal settings yet warm and approachable. Its italic movement and soft terminals evoke hand-lettered invitation work, giving text a graceful, slightly nostalgic character without feeling overly ornate.
Designed to capture the look of formal, pen-driven lettering in a controlled, typographic system—combining classic italic proportions with gentle flourishes and friendly terminals for elegant, readable communication.
Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel, sharing the same italic cadence and curved entry/exit strokes, which helps mixed text stay cohesive. Several letters feature subtle entry swashes and gentle curves (notably in capitals), adding personality while keeping the texture relatively even in paragraph lines.
