A slanted calligraphic roman with gently tapered strokes, modest contrast, and soft, ink-like terminals. The letterforms keep a consistent pen-driven rhythm while staying unconnected, with frequent entry/exit flicks and small swashes on capitals. Curves are open and rounded, counters are generous for the style, and many glyphs show slightly asymmetric, hand-shaped modulation. Numerals follow the same flowing logic, with curved spines and subtle hooks that keep them visually integrated with the text.
Well-suited to display typography where a refined handwritten voice is desired—book and chapter titles, invitations and announcements, boutique branding, editorial pull quotes, and packaging for artisanal or heritage-leaning products. It performs best with moderate tracking and at sizes where the tapered details and swash-like endings remain clear.
The overall tone is graceful and cultured, suggesting handwritten formality rather than casual note-taking. Its swashy capitals and lively stroke endings add a touch of charm and theatricality, making text feel classic, poetic, and slightly whimsical.
The design appears intended to emulate formal pen lettering in a typographic, repeatable system—balancing legibility with graceful flourishes. Its consistent slant, tapered stress, and expressive capitals suggest a focus on elegant display use while still supporting readable short text.
Capitals are notably expressive and varied, helping create strong word-shape in titles, while the lowercase maintains an even cadence suitable for short passages. The italic angle and narrow set encourage a vertical, column-friendly texture, and the design’s delicate terminals benefit from ample size and breathing room.
