A slanted, calligraphic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a slightly brushed, inked texture along curves and joins. Strokes taper into sharp, wedge-like terminals and pointed entry/exit strokes, creating a crisp, energetic rhythm. Letterforms are compact and upright-leaning in their proportions, with lively curve tension in rounds and a gently irregular, hand-drawn edge that keeps repeated shapes from feeling mechanical.
Well-suited to display settings where personality and contrast can shine, such as book covers, chapter openers, magazine headlines, event materials, and boutique branding. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads when given adequate size and spacing, but its textured calligraphic detail favors larger applications over dense body text.
The overall tone is refined and expressive, balancing classical formality with a handwritten immediacy. It reads as literary and slightly dramatic, with flourishes that suggest tradition, ceremony, and crafted authorship rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to capture the look of formal pen-written lettering in a typographic, repeatable form—combining traditional serif structure with expressive stroke modulation and tapered terminals for a crafted, premium feel.
Uppercase forms show strong, sculpted contrast and distinctive tapered spurs, while lowercase maintains a steady cursive-like flow without connecting strokes. Numerals echo the same calligraphic modulation, with elegant curves and sharp finishing strokes that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
