A high-contrast, right-slanted calligraphic italic with slender hairlines and fuller, brush-like thick strokes. Letterforms show a lively, slightly variable rhythm, with tapered terminals, subtle entry/exit strokes, and occasional swash-like curves—especially in capitals and descenders. The texture is airy and crisp, with open counters and a smooth, continuous flow that reads as formally written rather than connected script.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, title pages, invitations, and refined branding where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also work for short passages in editorial contexts when ample size and spacing preserve its delicate hairlines and strong contrast.
The font conveys a polished, cultivated tone with a touch of romance and ceremony. Its sweeping italic motion and sharp contrast suggest traditional penmanship, giving text an upscale, classic feel suited to expressive display settings.
Designed to evoke formal italic pen lettering with pronounced contrast and graceful, swash-leaning details, aiming for a luxurious, classical impression in prominent typographic moments.
Capitals are expressive and somewhat individualized, adding a hand-crafted flavor without becoming overly ornate. Numerals are similarly slanted and elegant, with thin joins and curved forms that align with the italic calligraphic theme.
