A slanted, ink-like cursive with lively, calligraphic modulation and a slightly rough, dry-brush texture along curves and joins. Strokes taper into pointed terminals and occasional hooked entry/exit strokes, while counters stay fairly open for a script. Capitals are taller and more flourished, with sweeping bowls and long, curving stems that create a strong headline rhythm; lowercase forms are compact with tight loops and ascending strokes that lean forward. Overall spacing feels hand-paced, producing an uneven but intentional rhythm that reads as written rather than engineered.
Well-suited for short-to-medium text where personality matters: brand marks, packaging callouts, book or album covers, invitations, and pull quotes. It works best at display sizes or comfortable reading sizes where the textured stroke and tight loops can remain clear, and where its expressive capitals can lead lines or headings.
The font conveys an old-world, handwritten charm—poetic, intimate, and a bit dramatic—like ink on paper from a personal note or classic book inscription. Its flowing motion and occasional flourish give it a refined, romantic tone without feeling overly formal.
Designed to emulate natural cursive writing with an inked, slightly textured stroke and a forward-leaning rhythm. The intent appears to balance legibility with expressive flourish, especially in capitals, to provide a distinctive handwritten voice for display and decorative text.
The character set shows noticeable variation in stroke edge and curvature from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the handmade impression. Tall ascenders and expressive capitals create strong vertical movement, while the numerals and punctuation keep the same pen-driven logic and slant for cohesive texture in running text.
