A flowing calligraphic italic with gently modulated strokes and tapered entry/exit terminals. Letterforms lean consistently to the right with smooth, pen-like curves, occasional looped joins, and softly bracketed shapes that keep the texture lively rather than strictly uniform. Capitals are decorative and open, using swashes and long curves, while lowercase stays relatively compact with a short x-height and clear ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same slanted, handwritten rhythm, with simple, slightly calligraphic construction.
Works well for invitations, announcements, certificates, and other formal collateral where a calligraphic voice is appropriate. It also suits short editorial moments—book titles, pull quotes, and chapter openers—where its decorative capitals can lead while the lowercase maintains readable flow at moderate sizes.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, suggesting formality and a touch of romance. Its lively slant and graceful terminals give it a personable, handwritten warmth while remaining refined enough for classic, editorial styling.
Designed to emulate a neat, pen-written italic with classic calligraphic manners—graceful strokes, expressive capitals, and a smooth rhythm for tasteful display typography.
Spacing and rhythm feel intentionally variable, with widths that flex from narrow joins to wider, more gestural capitals and rounded forms. The most distinctive personality comes from the capital set, which uses prominent curves and flourishes that can stand out strongly in display settings.
