A slanted calligraphic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, tapered terminals. Forms are narrow and vertically oriented, with a compact lowercase and small x-height that gives the text a poised, elevated rhythm. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, and many letters carry subtle entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like hooks, especially in capitals and descenders. Overall spacing feels measured but lively, with varied internal shapes that add a hand-rendered nuance while remaining consistently drawn.
Well-suited to invitations, announcements, and formal stationery where an elegant italic presence is desired. It also performs well for book titles, pull quotes, and editorial display settings that benefit from high-contrast refinement. For branding, it can add a classic signature-like character to wordmarks and packaging when used at larger sizes.
The font conveys a formal, literary elegance—ornamental without becoming overly decorative. Its sweeping curves and pointed finishes suggest ceremony and tradition, lending a sophisticated, slightly romantic tone to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to emulate a formal pen-written italic, balancing readable letterforms with selective flourishes for personality. Its narrow proportions and restrained ornamentation aim to deliver a graceful, traditional voice for display and refined text settings.
Capitals show the most flourish, featuring curved arms and occasional interior curls that create distinctive silhouettes. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender figures and sharp terminals that match the text color and maintain an upscale feel.
