A slanted calligraphic hand with smooth, rounded forms and a brush-pen feel. Strokes show gentle thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals, with occasional teardrop-like ends and soft entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are moderately compact with a steady rhythm, open counters, and subtle swelling on curves; capitals feature modest flourishes and looped construction without connecting between letters.
Works best for short to medium display text where its calligraphic movement and decorative capitals can be appreciated—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging labels, and editorial headlines. For longer passages, it is most effective when set with generous tracking and line spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is elegant and traditional, suggesting handwritten formality rather than casual note-taking. It feels personable and warm, with a polished, ceremonial character suited to refined messaging.
Designed to emulate a formal brush-script signature style: confident, controlled, and slightly embellished, while remaining readable. The intent appears to balance classic calligraphy cues with consistent, repeatable shapes suitable for polished display typography.
Capitals are more decorative and sweeping than the lowercase, giving strong word-shape at display sizes. Numerals maintain the same slanted, calligraphic logic with rounded shapes and simple, readable silhouettes.
