A formal calligraphic serif with strong thick–thin modulation and narrow, vertically oriented proportions. Strokes end in tapered, slightly flared serifs and occasional teardrop terminals, producing an inked, pen-driven feel rather than rigid geometry. Curves are compact and counters are relatively tight, while ascenders and descenders are pronounced, giving the line a tall, elegant rhythm. The overall texture is lively and slightly irregular in width from glyph to glyph, emphasizing a drawn, ornamental character.
Best suited for display typography such as book covers, chapter openers, editorial headlines, invitations, certificates, and boutique branding where a classical, hand-rendered tone is desired. It can work for short passages or pull quotes, but its contrast and ornamental detailing are likely to perform best when given enough size and spacing.
The font reads as traditional and cultivated, with a gentle theatricality from its pointed terminals and flowing curves. It evokes bookish, historical, and ceremonial contexts—more “scripted by hand” than mechanical—while remaining composed and legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to translate broad-pen calligraphy into a structured serif text style, balancing decorative personality with readable letterforms. Its narrow stance and pronounced contrast suggest a focus on elegant headings and formal messaging while retaining a distinctly handcrafted cadence.
Uppercase forms show decorative touches without becoming fully swashed, and the lowercase includes notably long descenders (e.g., in j, p, q, y) that add movement in running text. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and feel consistent with the letterforms, supporting cohesive titling and short setting.
