A slender, slanted calligraphic hand with brush-like, tapered terminals and moderate thick–thin modulation. Strokes feel drawn with a pointed pen or small brush, producing sharp joins, occasional spurs, and slightly irregular contours that keep the texture lively. Uppercase forms are narrow and upright in structure but lean with the overall italic angle, while the lowercase shows a compact body with long ascenders and descenders and mostly unconnected construction. Counters are small and vertical, spacing is airy, and the numerals echo the same narrow, flicked stroke endings.
This style is well suited to display settings where a handwritten, calligraphic voice is desired—book covers, poems or quotations, invitations, and boutique or editorial headlines. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when set with generous tracking and line spacing to preserve its delicate stroke detail.
The tone is refined yet human, mixing storybook charm with a slightly dramatic, old-world flair. Its lively stroke energy and narrow rhythm give it a poetic, theatrical presence without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to capture a formal handwritten look with a brisk, narrow cadence—prioritizing expressive stroke movement and elegant silhouettes for display typography rather than neutral, continuous reading text.
The alphabet shows consistent slant and terminal treatment across cases, creating a coherent line texture in text. Contrast is expressed more through tapered entry/exit strokes than through rigid, geometric stress, which reinforces the handwritten character.
