A bold, right-leaning calligraphic serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms feel sculpted, with pointed entry strokes, brisk curves, and occasional swash-like extensions on capitals and key lowercase forms. Counters are compact and the rhythm is lively, with tapered joins and slightly irregular, hand-driven stroke transitions that keep the texture animated in text. Numerals follow the same engraved, slanted logic, with strong diagonals and crisp terminals that read well at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and tapered details can be appreciated—editorial headlines, book and magazine covers, posters, and identity work that calls for a classic yet showy voice. It can also complement formal event materials such as invitations and certificates when set with generous spacing and comfortable line height.
The overall tone is formal and expressive, balancing classic refinement with a theatrical, headline-ready presence. It suggests tradition and ceremony, but with enough flourish and motion to feel spirited rather than static.
The design appears intended to emulate formal pen-influenced lettering in a robust, high-impact style, combining classic serif structure with calligraphic motion and decorative terminals for attention-grabbing display use.
In longer lines the strong slant and high contrast create a dark, textured color with noticeable spark at curves and terminals. The capitals are especially assertive and ornamental, making them effective for emphasized words and initial caps.
