A slanted calligraphic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and tapered, brush-like terminals. Strokes often finish in sharp wedges or subtle flares, with bracketed joins that suggest a broad-nib pen translated into crisp, print-like outlines. Capitals are lively and slightly narrow with sculpted curves and occasional extended entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms are compact with rhythmic, angled stress and distinctive, pointed serifs. Numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic, with flowing diagonals and tapered ends that keep the set cohesive in text.
Well suited to book covers, chapter openers, magazine features, and other editorial settings that benefit from an elegant italic voice. It also works for invitations, boutique branding, and packaging where a formal, calligraphic serif can signal craft and tradition. For longer passages, generous spacing and comfortable sizes help preserve clarity as the contrast and angled stress become more apparent.
The overall tone feels formal and cultivated, balancing a handwritten flourish with a traditional bookish presence. Its energetic slant and sharp terminals add drama and forward motion, giving headlines a refined, slightly theatrical character without becoming ornamental script.
The design appears intended to evoke broad-nib calligraphy in a structured serif framework, delivering a formal italic with expressive, tapered terminals and a strong rhythmic slant. It aims to provide a distinctive display presence that still behaves like a coherent text face for short, emphasized runs.
Letterforms show deliberate variation in stroke expansion and terminal shaping, creating a hand-driven texture that remains consistent across the alphabet. The texture reads best at display and short-text sizes where the contrast and wedge details can be appreciated.
