A slanted, calligraphic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, inked finish. Strokes taper into sharp, wedge-like terminals and subtle bracketed serifs, producing a flowing rhythm without connecting letters. Capitals are compact and slightly angular, while lowercase forms show energetic entry/exit strokes and occasional extended tails, creating a varied, handwritten cadence. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, angled construction with lively curves and pointed ends.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, book or album covers, invitations, and branding where an elegant, calligraphic personality is desired. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when set with generous spacing and comfortable line height to accommodate the lively forms and strong contrast.
The font projects a formal, classic tone with a touch of theatrical flourish. Its energetic slant and sharp terminals lend a confident, expressive voice that feels refined rather than casual, making text look intentional and authored.
The design appears intended to evoke a traditional pen-written italic with elevated contrast and polished, print-ready consistency. It balances disciplined calligraphic structure with expressive terminals to deliver a refined, attention-grabbing voice for prominent text.
Texture remains consistent across the alphabet, but letter widths and swash-like finishing strokes introduce natural variance, especially in lowercase. The strong diagonal stress and tight joins in rounded letters create a dark, rhythmic color that becomes more assertive as size increases.
