A slanted, calligraphic serif with a sturdy, brush-like stroke that shows clear thick–thin modulation and tapered entry/exit strokes. The letterforms lean consistently and keep a compact, slightly condensed stance, with bracketed serifs and rounded terminals that soften the overall texture. Curves are full and weighty, counters are relatively tight, and several shapes feature small hooked or teardrop-like finishes that add rhythm. The lowercase is energetic with a modest x-height and noticeable ascender/descender presence, and the numerals follow the same italic, sculpted construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, pull quotes, packaging, and identity work where its calligraphic modulation and lively terminals can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial text at comfortable sizes, but its strong color and animated shapes are most effective when used for emphasis rather than long-form body copy.
The font projects a traditional, editorial tone with a spirited, human touch—more refined than casual script, but still expressive and warm. Its confident slant and pronounced modulation evoke vintage print and hand-lettered signage, giving text a sense of motion and emphasis.
The design appears intended to bridge formal calligraphy with a robust, print-ready italic serif—delivering a classic, vintage-leaning voice with enough flair to stand out in branding and titling.
In paragraphs, the dark color and tight internal spaces create a dense, assertive texture that favors larger sizes and shorter lines. Distinctive swashes and hooked terminals on select letters add character, but they also increase visual busyness in extended reading.
