A calligraphic, hand-drawn roman with gently modulated strokes and flared, tapering terminals. The letterforms are upright with a lively baseline rhythm, showing subtle irregularities that suggest pen movement rather than geometric construction. Capitals feature modest swashes and occasional curled entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms lean on rounded bowls, looped descenders, and open apertures for a light, airy texture. Numerals are simple and readable, echoing the same soft curves and tapered ends.
This font suits invitations, greeting cards, and boutique branding where a graceful handwritten voice is desired. It also works well for short headlines, pull quotes, and product packaging—especially when set at medium to large sizes to let the delicate terminals and swashes read clearly.
The overall tone feels refined yet playful—like a neat, practiced hand with a touch of flourish. Its curls and soft terminals add a charming, slightly vintage warmth that reads as personable rather than formal or rigid.
The design appears intended to mimic a formal, carefully written hand: upright, legible, and lightly ornamented. It prioritizes charm and elegance through tapered terminals, looping forms, and gentle contrast while maintaining clear letter recognition in short text settings.
Stroke endings frequently resolve into small hooks or teardrop-like tapers, and several letters (notably swashier capitals and looping descenders) introduce decorative motion that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. Spacing appears comfortable and consistent in text, though the natural, hand-made contours keep the color from becoming too uniform.
