A slender, right-leaning calligraphic serif with tapered terminals and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show controlled contrast with subtle modulation, and many forms carry slight entry/exit flicks that mimic pen movement. Proportions feel tall and condensed, with narrow bowls and compact counters, while spacing stays even enough for continuous text. Uppercase shapes are simplified but expressive, and the numerals follow the same angled, tapered rhythm for a cohesive texture.
This style suits short-to-medium passages where a refined, humanist calligraphic feel is desired—such as book or magazine headlines, pull quotes, and cultural or lifestyle branding. It also works well for invitations and certificates where an elegant serif with handwritten energy can add warmth while staying formal.
The overall tone is graceful and cultured, evoking traditional book typography with a hand-rendered flourish. Its slant and tapering ends give it a lively, personable cadence without becoming casual or messy, lending a slightly dramatic, literary voice.
The design appears intended to capture the disciplined look of italic calligraphy in a consistent, typographic system—combining pen-like tapering and serif structure to produce an expressive yet readable texture for display and editorial settings.
The font’s character comes through in its long ascenders/descenders and the consistent forward tension in curves and joins, which creates a steady diagonal flow across lines. Some strokes end in sharp wedge-like tips, adding crispness and a lightly formal edge.
