A formal calligraphic italic with tapered, brush-like strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms lean consistently to the right and show a lively, handwritten rhythm, with slightly irregular joins and stroke terminals that often finish in soft points or small wedges. Capitals are more expressive and swashy than the lowercase, using curved entry strokes and occasional extended arms, while the lowercase maintains compact proportions and a relatively low x-height. Overall spacing is moderate and the texture is animated, with subtle width variation across characters rather than strict geometric regularity.
Best suited to display and short text where its calligraphic contrast and swashy capitals can be appreciated—titles, covers, invitations, menus, labels, and boutique branding. It can also work for pull quotes or section headings, while dense body copy will typically benefit from larger sizes and generous line spacing.
The font conveys a poised, old-world elegance with a handcrafted feel—more storybook and ceremonial than casual. Its flowing italic movement and sharp, inked terminals lend a sense of drama and formality, suitable for expressive, personality-forward settings.
Likely intended to evoke traditional pen-and-ink calligraphy in a refined, legible form, combining a formal italic structure with expressive terminals and decorative capital shapes for elegant display typography.
Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic as the letters, with curved silhouettes and tapered ends; several figures (notably 1, 2, and 7) read as more script-like than typographic. The design favors graceful curves over hard geometry, and some glyphs show distinctive looped or flared features that increase visual character but can make long passages feel busy at small sizes.
