A slanted calligraphic serif with smooth, pen-like modulation and gently bracketed terminals. Letterforms show a consistent rightward lean and flowing, slightly variable stroke behavior that suggests hand-guided rhythm rather than rigid geometry. Capitals are narrow and open with restrained flourishes, while lowercase forms are compact and lively, featuring single-storey a and g, a softly looped e, and long, clean ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same oblique, old-style spirit, with curved figures and tapered endings that keep the texture light and continuous in text.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits invitations, packaging accents, and branding wordmarks that benefit from a formal yet human touch, especially when paired with a more neutral roman for body copy.
The overall tone feels cultured and expressive, evoking editorial sophistication and traditional correspondence. Its lively slant and soft modulation add warmth and motion, giving text a personable, slightly romantic character without becoming ornate.
Designed to provide a graceful, calligraphy-informed italic that reads smoothly while retaining the character of hand-drawn pen forms. The intent appears to balance traditional serif structure with a fluid, personable rhythm for expressive display and refined typographic emphasis.
Spacing appears moderately open for an italic, helping maintain readability in continuous lines, while the strong diagonal stress creates a clear forward rhythm. Terminals tend to finish in subtle hooks or tapers, reinforcing the handwritten, calligraphic impression.
