A serifed italic with a distinctly calligraphic, slightly chiseled construction. Strokes show controlled modulation and crisp tapering, with sharp terminals and wedge-like serifs that create a lively, angular rhythm. Curves are compact and somewhat flattened, while diagonals and joins feel brisk and decisive, giving letters a slightly restless, hand-turned texture. The overall color stays even, but with enough stroke variation and pointed details to keep the line energetic in text.
It suits book and chapter titles, editorial pull quotes, and cultural or historical themes where an italic, calligraphic serif adds gravitas. It can also work well for invitations, programs, and certificate-style pieces that want a formal, crafted impression, especially at display and subhead sizes.
The font conveys a formal, literary tone with a touch of old-world drama. Its sharp, inked-in motion reads as refined and expressive rather than casual, suggesting elegance, ceremony, and classical storytelling.
The design appears intended to emulate formal pen-written italic letterforms translated into a serifed, print-ready style, balancing readable structure with expressive, sharply finished details. It prioritizes character and a crafted rhythm over neutrality, aiming for distinctive typography in titles and curated text settings.
Capitals have a strong italic slant and sculpted silhouettes, producing a prominent headline presence. In text settings the pointed serifs and tight internal spaces create a crisp, high-character texture that can feel ornate if set too tightly, benefiting from comfortable tracking and line spacing.
