A slanted calligraphic text face with brisk, brush-like stroke endings and sharply tapered terminals. Letterforms show moderate stroke modulation and a lively rhythm, with pointed joins, wedge-like serifs, and occasional spur details that create a subtly chiseled silhouette. Proportions are compact and tall-leaning, with tight interior counters and a dynamic baseline flow that keeps words visually connected even without true script joins. Numerals follow the same angled, cut-pen logic, pairing strong vertical emphasis with crisp entry and exit strokes.
This font is well suited to display settings such as posters, cover typography, chapter openers, and branding where a dramatic, calligraphic voice is desirable. It can also work for short pull quotes or event materials when set with generous line spacing to let the sharp terminals and angled forms breathe.
The overall tone feels theatrical and old-world, evoking signage, titling, and formal announcements with a hint of swashbuckling energy. Its sharp, blade-like terminals and forward motion lend urgency and personality, while the consistent calligraphic construction keeps it polished rather than casual.
The letterforms appear designed to translate broad-nib or brush calligraphy into a consistent, repeatable display face, balancing formal structure with expressive, tapered finishes. Its narrow, energetic rhythm suggests an emphasis on impact and period flavor in titles and prominent text.
The design’s distinctive character comes through most in its angular curves and pointed terminals, which create strong texture in lines of text. In longer passages the tight spacing and lively stroke endings can build a dense, animated color, making size and tracking choices important for comfortable reading.
