A slanted, calligraphic serif with smooth, pen-like modulation and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes feel rounded and continuous, with gently tapered terminals and occasional teardrop-like endings that add a handwritten cadence. Capitals show modest flourishes and curved entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms keep a steady rhythm with open counters and slightly varied letter widths. Numerals follow the same angled, old-style sensibility, blending comfortably with the text color.
Well-suited to invitations, certificates, and formal announcements where a calligraphic serif feel is desired. It also works for editorial headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and boutique branding that benefits from a classic, handwritten-leaning voice.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, with a personable hand-rendered feel rather than rigid formality. It suggests bookish elegance—polished enough for ceremonial or editorial use, but warm and approachable thanks to the calligraphic movement.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional serif structure with a calligrapher’s stroke logic, delivering a graceful italic that feels crafted and expressive without becoming overly ornate.
The italic angle is consistent across the set, and the spacing in the sample text reads even, producing a smooth, flowing line. Flourishes are present but restrained, keeping the texture readable while still feeling distinctive in display sizes.
