A slanted calligraphic face with a brush-pen feel and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Strokes taper into pointed terminals, with occasional ink-like swelling at curves and joins, giving the letters a lively, hand-rendered texture. Uppercase forms are compact and slightly angular in places, while the lowercase is more flowing with modest ascenders/descenders and a consistent rightward sweep. Counters stay fairly open, and the overall spacing and rhythm read like formal handwriting rather than a fully connected script.
Well-suited to invitations, announcements, and other formal printed materials where an italic calligraphic presence adds prestige. It also performs nicely for short to medium-length display text—headlines, pull quotes, and cover typography—where its high-contrast stroke and lively terminals can be appreciated without crowding.
The tone is elegant and traditional, suggesting handwritten formality with a confident, energetic stroke. It carries a classic, literary flavor—polished enough for ceremonial uses while still retaining human warmth through its brushy modulation and slight irregularities.
Likely designed to evoke traditional penmanship in a clean, reproducible form: a formal, italicized handwritten look with controlled contrast and consistent rhythm for display-oriented typography.
Capitals stand out with sharper serif-like flicks and sturdier stems, creating clear hierarchy in mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic with angled stress and tapered endings, keeping the set visually cohesive in short numeric strings.
