A delicate, hand-drawn calligraphic italic with slender strokes and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms are narrow and slightly irregular, with a lively baseline rhythm and subtle stroke modulation that suggests a pen or brush. Capitals are tall and graceful with open counters and occasional soft curves and hooks, while the lowercase is compact with a short x-height and long, thin ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same light, curving construction, with simple, readable shapes and modest flourish.
Best suited to short-to-medium setting sizes where its slender strokes and calligraphic detail can remain clear—such as invitations, greeting cards, pull quotes, book or chapter titling, boutique branding, and packaging. It can also work as an accent face paired with a sturdier text typeface for contrast.
The overall tone is refined yet informal, combining a poised, classical feel with a human, sketch-like charm. Its lightness and slant give it a breezy, romantic character suited to expressive, personal typography rather than strict formality.
The design appears intended to emulate neat, formal handwriting with a light calligraphic touch—prioritizing grace, movement, and personality over rigid regularity. Its proportions and italic flow aim to create an elegant voice for display and expressive text.
Spacing appears intentionally loose and variable, reinforcing the handwritten impression. Rounded forms (C, G, O, Q) stay open and smooth, while verticals often show slight curvature and tapering that adds warmth without becoming overly ornamental.
