A slanted calligraphic italic with smooth, pen-like curves and modest stroke modulation. Letterforms are narrow and rhythmically consistent, with rounded turns, tapered terminals, and occasional entry/exit swashes that mimic a controlled handwriting motion. Capitals are larger and more expressive, featuring looped bowls and extended strokes, while lowercase stays compact with a comparatively low x-height and tall ascenders/descenders. Counters remain open enough for text, and spacing feels even despite the lively, handwritten geometry.
Well-suited to invitations, stationery, and event materials where a formal handwritten voice is desired. It also fits branding and packaging that benefit from an elegant, crafted feel, and can work for short headings, pull quotes, and book-cover titling where the expressive capitals can shine.
The overall tone is graceful and traditional, evoking formal correspondence and polished personal writing. Its soft curves and gentle flourishes read as warm and inviting rather than rigid, giving it a subtly romantic, old-world character.
Designed to deliver a refined, calligraphic handwriting look that balances legibility with expressive movement. The intent appears to be a polished script-like italic for decorative text, using controlled contrast and selective swashes to add personality without fully connecting letters.
Uppercase forms carry much of the personality, with several letters showing prominent loops and long, sweeping diagonals that can become decorative in display settings. Numerals follow the same italic, handwritten logic with curved strokes and light terminal flicks, matching the alphabet’s rhythm.
