A calligraphic serif with an italic slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show rounded, brush-like entry and exit terminals, frequent ball terminals, and gently bracketed wedge serifs that give the forms a soft, carved feel. Proportions are moderately compact with a steady rhythm, and the letterforms exhibit subtle handwritten irregularities in curves and stroke endings while remaining clearly structured for text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, calligraphic logic with rounded terminals and flowing curves.
This face is well suited to display settings where its contrast and terminal details can be appreciated—headlines, titles, pull quotes, and short passages. It can also work for branding, packaging, and event materials that want a classic, crafted feel; for longer text, it will generally be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with a warm, human presence. Its flourished terminals and rolling curves suggest formality without stiffness, evoking classic signage, invitations, or editorial typography with a slightly whimsical, storybook character.
The design appears intended to blend calligraphic expressiveness with the discipline of a serif text structure, creating an italic display style that reads as both traditional and personal. The consistent contrast and rounded terminals suggest an emphasis on elegant word-shape and a lively, handcrafted finish.
Capitals are sturdy and decorative, with prominent curved spurs and swelling strokes that create strong word-shape. The lowercase maintains readability through open counters and clear ascenders/descenders, while the contrast and terminal detailing add sparkle at larger sizes.
