A slanted, calligraphic serif design with fluid, pen-like strokes and moderate thick–thin modulation. Letterforms show tapered entries and exits, soft bracketed serifs, and frequent gentle swashes on capitals and select lowercase forms. Curves are smooth and slightly asymmetric, with a lively baseline rhythm and varied internal spacing that enhances the handwritten feel. The lowercase appears compact with relatively small counters and a notably low x-height, while ascenders and descenders add vertical elegance.
Well-suited for formal materials such as invitations, programs, certificates, and announcements, as well as editorial display uses like book covers and chapter titles. It can also serve branding and packaging that needs a classic, premium voice, especially when set at larger sizes where its terminals and stroke modulation can breathe.
The font projects a poised, literary tone—polished and ceremonial rather than casual. Its slanted motion and delicate finishing strokes suggest formality and tradition, with a romantic, old-world refinement that suits elevated messaging.
The design appears intended to translate formal penmanship into a consistent typographic system: elegant, readable display letterforms with expressive swashes and a refined italic rhythm for elevated, tradition-leaning communication.
Capitals are particularly decorative, featuring curved terminals and occasional looped or extended strokes that can become prominent in headings. Numerals follow the same oblique, calligraphic logic, with open, gently curved shapes that harmonize with the letterforms.
