A slanted calligraphic roman with smooth, pen-like modulation and gently tapered terminals. Strokes show a consistent diagonal stress and modest thick–thin contrast, while small bracketed serifs and subtle entry/exit strokes give the letters a handwritten rhythm without connecting. Uppercase forms are rounded and slightly expansive with soft curves and occasional loops, and the lowercase maintains a steady x-height with long, graceful ascenders and descenders. Spacing is open and even, supporting readable word shapes in text while preserving an expressive, drawn quality.
Well-suited to invitations, announcements, and formal stationery where a calligraphic voice is desired. It also works for editorial display, pull quotes, titles, and boutique branding that benefits from an elegant handwritten impression, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is polished and personable, balancing formality with a human touch. It evokes traditional correspondence and bookish elegance, feeling courteous and composed rather than playful or loud.
The design appears intended to provide a refined, legible calligraphic italic that reads comfortably in short texts while still offering the grace and nuance of a pen-drawn style. Its controlled contrast and restrained detailing suggest a focus on versatility for tasteful, formal communication.
Figures are slanted and stylistically aligned with the letters, with rounded shapes and clear differentiation between forms. The overall texture stays smooth and consistent across the alphabet, with restrained flourishes that add character without overwhelming continuous reading.
