A robust, right-slanted calligraphic design with pronounced thick–thin modulation and wedge-like, tapered terminals. Strokes show a broad-pen sensibility: rounded joins, swelling curves, and pointed finishing flicks that add texture and movement. The forms are compact and weighty, with lively, slightly irregular widths and a consistent diagonal stress that keeps lines of text animated and dense.
Best suited to display settings where its bold contrast and flourished details can be appreciated, such as book covers, posters, packaging, and branding for heritage or artisanal themes. It works well for headings, pull quotes, and short passages, while dense body copy may feel heavy due to the compact proportions and strong rhythm.
This typeface conveys a theatrical, old-world energy with a distinctly expressive, storybook voice. The slanted rhythm and sharp, inked terminals create a sense of motion and flourish, giving it a confident, performative tone that feels suited to titles and proclamations rather than quiet neutrality.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver an expressive, formal calligraphic presence with strong contrast and energetic slant. The emphasis is on personality and impact—using broad, tapered strokes and confident curves to create a distinctive voice that stands out at first glance.
Uppercase letters show prominent, sculpted serifs and curved entry strokes, while lowercase maintains the same slanted, broad-pen cadence with rounded bowls and sharp exit flicks. Numerals share the same high-contrast, slightly calligraphic construction, helping mixed text feel visually consistent.
