A bold, right-leaning calligraphic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a strong, rhythmic diagonal stress. Letterforms show sharp, wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals that mimic a broad-nib or engraved pen, with occasional swash-like joins and flicked endings in both capitals and lowercase. Counters are moderately open, curves are taut and slightly compressed, and the overall texture reads dark and sculpted, with lively entry/exit strokes that keep the line moving.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and sharp terminals can remain crisp—headlines, titling, book or album covers, and poster typography. It can also work for upscale branding and formal invitations when used at larger sizes with generous spacing, rather than dense body copy.
The tone is formal and expressive, balancing classical refinement with a slightly dramatic, storybook flair. Its energetic slant and pointed finishing strokes give it a theatrical, headline-ready presence while still feeling rooted in traditional calligraphy.
The design appears intended to evoke formal pen lettering in a robust, print-ready style—combining traditional calligraphic contrast and swashy finishing strokes with the authority of a bold serif silhouette for attention-grabbing titling.
Capitals are sturdy and emphatic, with several showing distinctive spur and hook details that add personality at display sizes. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with curving bowls and tapered ends that keep them visually consistent with the alphabet.
