A right-leaning, calligraphic serif with softly flared terminals and subtly bracketed joins that suggest broad-nib movement. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation, with smooth curves and gently tapered ends rather than sharp points. The forms are slightly variable in width and spacing, creating a natural rhythm while remaining consistent and readable. Capitals are rounded and open with understated entry/exit strokes, while lowercase letters have a flowing, slightly irregular hand-made cadence and clear, compact counters.
This face works well where a formal yet personable voice is needed: book and chapter titles, editorial pull quotes, cultural branding, menus, and invitation suites. It can also serve as a distinctive text face at comfortable sizes, especially in short-to-medium passages where its lively rhythm adds character.
The overall tone feels classical and cultured, with an inviting, human touch. Its italic movement and softened serifs convey refinement without stiffness, giving text a literary, old-world elegance suited to expressive reading.
The design appears intended to translate traditional pen-written italic letterforms into a practical, consistent type style—balancing calligraphic expressiveness with enough regularity for repeated reading and mixed-case setting.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same calligraphic logic as the lowercase, helping mixed text feel cohesive. Curves stay smooth and continuous, and the slant is steady across the set, supporting comfortable line flow in longer passages.
