A delicate, right-leaning calligraphic serif with a flowing, pen-driven rhythm. Strokes show subtle modulation and tapering terminals, with narrow entry/exit strokes and occasional teardrop-like endings that suggest a pointed nib. Capitals are tall and slightly formal, with understated swashes and gently asymmetrical curves, while the lowercase maintains an even, readable texture with open counters and lightly bracketed serifs. Numerals follow the same refined, handwritten logic, with smooth curves and modest contrast that keeps the overall color light and graceful.
Well suited to invitations, certificates, and announcements where a formal handwritten impression is desired. It can also serve editorial pull quotes, book covers, and boutique branding, especially in short to medium lengths where its delicate stroke endings and lively rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels cultured and expressive, balancing formality with a human, handwritten presence. Its slant and tapered terminals convey a sense of movement and ceremony, making the voice feel literary and gently romantic rather than loud or ornamental.
The design appears intended to mimic refined pen calligraphy in a typographic, repeatable form—prioritizing graceful motion, tapered terminals, and classic proportions to deliver a formal yet personal voice for display and elegant text settings.
Letterforms show intentional irregularities typical of pen lettering—small variations in stroke endings and curve tension—yet spacing remains disciplined enough for continuous text. The italic angle is consistent, and the design favors elegance over density, leaving plenty of white space within and around characters.
