A right-leaning calligraphic italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and softly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show a broad-pen logic: rounded entry/exit terminals, teardrop-like joins, and gently tapered diagonals that create a lively, handwritten rhythm while staying consistent across the set. Uppercase forms are open and sweeping with occasional modest swash behavior, while lowercase keeps compact counters and smooth, curving shoulders; figures follow the same italic stress with calligraphic terminals.
Well-suited to formal invitations, certificates, and announcements where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also works for book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and heritage-leaning branding, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the contrast and terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is cultivated and traditional, balancing readability with a decorative, scripted polish. It suggests heritage stationery and bookish refinement—expressive without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to emulate a disciplined, broad-nib calligraphy style—providing an expressive italic with classical proportions and refined stroke endings for elevated display and editorial settings.
Spacing feels moderately generous for an italic, helping the heavy strokes avoid clumping in text. The texture in paragraphs is rhythmic and slightly bouncy due to the varied stroke endings and pen-like curves, giving display lines a confident, crafted presence.
