A slanted, pen-influenced italic with smooth, tapered terminals and moderate stroke modulation that suggests a broad-nib or flexible-pen rhythm. Letterforms are open and flowing, with gently bracketed serifs and occasional swash-like entry/exit strokes that create a lively baseline movement. Proportions lean slightly narrow in places, while curves and joins vary subtly across the alphabet, giving an organic, handwritten consistency rather than rigid geometry. Numerals and capitals carry the same calligraphic logic, with rounded bowls and soft, ink-like endings that keep texture cohesive in text.
Well-suited to invitations, announcements, and other formal correspondence where a calligraphic voice is desired. It can also work for editorial pull quotes, book or chapter titling, and short passages where a traditional italic texture adds sophistication without requiring full script connections.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, evoking formal handwriting and bookish elegance rather than casual note-taking. Its italic motion and soft flourishes lend a romantic, ceremonial feel that reads as tasteful and slightly old-world.
Designed to capture the look of formal, hand-written italics with controlled contrast and subtle flourishes, balancing elegance with practical legibility in short-to-medium text settings.
In longer lines, the face builds a smooth, undulating rhythm from repeated tapered strokes and rounded counters; spacing appears comfortable, favoring readability while preserving a crafted, human touch. Capitals show decorative emphasis without becoming overly ornate, making them suitable for restrained display use alongside text.
