A calligraphic serif with a right-leaning, handwritten rhythm and lightly tapered strokes. Letterforms show modest contrast, fine terminals, and gently swelling curves, with frequent hook-like entry/exit strokes that create a subtle swash effect. Proportions are tall with a relatively small x-height, long ascenders/descenders, and open counters; round letters stay airy while verticals remain slender. Capitals are expressive and slightly irregular in a controlled way, giving the set a lively, pen-drawn texture rather than rigid geometry.
Well-suited to headings and short passages in editorial design, book or chapter titles, poetry, and pull quotes where an elegant handwritten serif voice is desired. It also fits invitations, certificates, and boutique packaging/labels, especially when set with generous tracking and leading to let the flourished forms breathe.
The overall tone is cultured and graceful, suggesting traditional penmanship and editorial elegance. Its flourishes add personality and a slightly whimsical, storybook warmth while staying formal enough for classic, refined settings.
The design appears intended to capture formal calligraphic handwriting in a consistent digital typeface, balancing readable serif structures with decorative pen-like terminals. Its proportions and slanted motion prioritize expressive, classical display typography over dense text settings.
Curved terminals and extended strokes—especially in several capitals and in letters with tails—add distinctive movement that becomes more prominent at larger sizes. The numerals and punctuation shown harmonize with the same tapered, handwritten stroke logic, supporting display use where the slant and swashes can read clearly.
