A calligraphic, serifed italic with a pen-drawn rhythm and gently irregular stroke edges. Letterforms are moderately narrow with a forward slant, showing subtle contrast between thick and thin strokes and tapered terminals that often end in small wedge-like flicks. Curves are open and buoyant, while verticals remain lean, giving the text a light, airy color. Spacing is comfortable for a handwritten style, and the overall texture stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited for titles, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where a cultured handwritten feel is desired, such as book covers, editorial features, menus, boutique packaging, and event stationery. It can also work for branding accents when you want something personal yet traditional.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—suggesting handwritten notes, old-world correspondence, and lightly formal invitations. Its lively stroke endings and organic modulation add warmth and personality without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to capture a formal handwritten voice—evoking broad-nib or pointed-pen calligraphy translated into a consistent, typographic system. It balances expressiveness with legibility, aiming for an elegant, literary texture rather than high ornament.
Capitals are simple but expressive, with a slightly swashed feel in a few forms (notably curving entries and exits). Lowercase features tall ascenders and loopless, streamlined joins, keeping words readable while maintaining a hand-script character. Numerals match the italic cadence with similarly tapered terminals and open bowls.
