A calligraphic, hand-drawn roman with gently swelling strokes and tapered, brush-like terminals. Letterforms are rounded and slightly irregular in rhythm, with modest entry and exit flicks, small ball-like terminals, and occasional loops in capitals that add movement without connecting characters. Proportions are lively, with relatively tall ascenders and descenders and a compact lowercase that gives the text a buoyant baseline texture. Numerals follow the same drawn logic, with open curves and light finishing strokes that keep them consistent with the alphabet.
Well-suited for invitations, announcements, greeting cards, and branding where a handwritten-formal voice is desired. It also works nicely for display settings such as headlines, short quotes, packaging accents, and book or event titling where its flourishes can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels cultivated yet friendly—like neat pen lettering meant for invitations or chapter titles rather than strict editorial text. Its subtle swashes and soft curves create a romantic, slightly playful mood that reads as traditional and decorative.
The design appears intended to evoke formal penmanship in a clean, unconnected style, balancing legibility with decorative, calligraphic nuance. Its controlled contrast and gentle swashes suggest a focus on charming display typography that still performs in short text passages.
Capitals carry the most personality, featuring prominent curved arms and occasional flourish-like hooks that can stand out at larger sizes. Spacing appears comfortable in running text, but the ornamental terminals and distinctive shapes suggest it benefits from a bit of size to maintain clarity.
