A slanted, calligraphic serif with an inked, pen-driven construction and gently modulated strokes. Letters show soft, bracketed serifs, rounded terminals, and subtle entry/exit strokes that create a consistent forward rhythm. Curves are broad and slightly swelling, while joins stay clean and unconnected, giving the face a composed texture. Proportions lean compact in the lowercase with lively width variation across characters, and numerals follow the same flowing, cursive-leaning skeleton.
Well-suited to invitations, announcements, and stationery where a formal handwritten tone is desired. It also performs nicely for editorial accents—pull quotes, chapter openers, and short headlines—where its slanted rhythm and calligraphic details can be appreciated. For packaging and branding, it works best at display sizes or in short phrases where the flowing shapes remain clear.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish elegance with a human, handwritten warmth. Its italic energy and soft finishing strokes suggest refinement and courtesy rather than strict formality, making it feel inviting and slightly nostalgic.
Designed to emulate controlled italic pen lettering in a typographic, repeatable form, balancing calligraphic character with consistent structure for practical setting. The goal appears to be a refined, classic handwritten voice that feels polished yet personable.
Capitals have a modest flourish and a steady baseline presence, while the lowercase maintains a smooth, continuous cadence that reads like careful penmanship. The overall color is even for a calligraphic style, with enough stroke modulation to feel lively without becoming overly ornate.
