A delicate italic calligraphic serif with a consistent rightward slant and airy spacing. Strokes feel pen-influenced, with tapered terminals, subtle swelling through curves, and crisp hairlines that keep the texture light on the page. Capitals are tall and graceful with restrained, classic forms, while lowercase shows a gentle rhythm with slightly extended ascenders and descenders. Numerals are slender and elegant, matching the letterforms’ fine stroke weight and softly curved finishing strokes.
Well suited to editorial pull quotes, literary titling, and elegant short-to-medium passages where a light, graceful voice is desired. It also fits invitations, certificates, and boutique branding that benefits from a formal, handwritten impression. For best results, use at comfortable text sizes and with generous leading to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, suggesting classic book typography and formal correspondence. Its lightness and flowing motion read as sophisticated and quiet rather than bold, lending a sense of refinement and care.
Likely designed to capture the manners of formal pen lettering in a typographic, repeatable system—prioritizing graceful motion, delicate contrast cues, and a refined page texture for elegant reading and display.
The design maintains a smooth, continuous cadence across words, with small entry/exit strokes that hint at handwriting without becoming fully cursive or connected. Round letters and diagonals carry the same controlled tapering, helping paragraphs keep an even, polished color.
