A slanted, calligraphic serif with strong thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered terminals. Strokes often end in flared, wedge-like serifs and slight spur details, giving a subtly chiseled, pen-cut feel. The drawing shows lively rhythm and mild irregularity in curves and joins, with rounded bowls contrasted against crisp entry/exit strokes. Capitals are compact and decorative, while lowercase forms lean more fluid and energetic; overall spacing feels moderately open but with varied letter widths that create a handwritten cadence in text.
This face works well for display and short-to-medium passages where a refined, handwritten personality is desired—such as book covers, chapter openers, editorial headings, invitations, certificates, and boutique packaging. It can also suit logo lockups that benefit from a traditional, crafted tone.
The font conveys a classic, bookish elegance with a touch of playful flourish. Its italic calligraphic motion reads as expressive and human, suggesting historical or story-driven contexts rather than strict modern neutrality.
The design appears intended to emulate formal italic calligraphy translated into a serifed typographic structure, balancing legibility with expressive stroke endings and a slightly irregular, hand-drawn rhythm.
In continuous text the contrast and pointed terminals become more pronounced, creating a sparkling texture and slightly dramatic word shapes. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with curved strokes and tapered ends that keep the set cohesive.
