The design is a slanted, calligraphy-informed italic with crisp, high-contrast strokes that taper into pointed terminals. Forms are generally narrow with a lively baseline rhythm and subtle entry/exit strokes that read like quick quill turns. Capitals have gentle swash-like gestures and curved wedges, while lowercase maintains a smooth, continuous flow with clearly separated letters rather than true joining.
Well-suited to invitations, announcements, and event collateral where a formal tone is desired. It can also work for book covers, chapter openers, quotes, and branding accents that benefit from a classic calligraphic voice. For best results, use at display sizes or with generous spacing in text settings to preserve clarity of the fine strokes.
