A right-leaning calligraphic serif with gently tapered strokes and subtly flared terminals. Letterforms show bracketed, brush-like joins and soft curves rather than sharp corners, producing an even, flowing rhythm across words. Capitals are slightly more ornamental, with modest entry/exit swashes (notably in forms like A, J, Q, and R), while lowercase maintains clear, open counters and a steady baseline. Numerals follow the same slanted, drawn-pen logic, with rounded shapes and small finishing strokes that keep them consistent with the text characters.
This style works well for invitations, announcements, and ceremonial materials where a handwritten formality is desired. It also suits boutique branding, short editorial headlines, pull quotes, and packaging accents, especially where a classic, crafted voice is more important than dense body-text efficiency.
The overall tone is elegant and personable—more like formal handwriting than a strict book italic. Its smooth movement and understated flourish suggest tradition and courtesy, suitable for messaging that aims to feel crafted and human while staying readable.
The design appears intended to capture a polished, pen-written feel with restrained decoration—providing an italic, calligraphic texture that reads smoothly in sentences while offering expressive capitals for display moments.
Ascenders tend to be tall and slender, giving lines a lightly airy vertical texture. Spacing appears moderately open for a script-adjacent style, helping maintain clarity in longer phrases, while the occasional swash in capitals adds emphasis without dominating the page.
