A slanted calligraphic serif with smooth, pen-like modulation and tapered terminals. Strokes show gentle thick–thin contrast and subtly flared, often bracketed serifs that keep edges soft rather than sharply mechanical. Proportions feel slightly condensed in places with lively, variable letter widths, and the overall rhythm is flowing and cohesive. Uppercase forms are stately and open, while lowercase letters carry more motion through curved joins, long descenders, and occasional looped shapes.
Well-suited to book covers, chapter heads, pull quotes, and other editorial settings where a refined italic voice is desirable. It can also support invitations, formal announcements, and boutique branding where a traditional, calligraphic serif adds personality without becoming fully script-like.
The font conveys a formal, cultured tone with a handwritten warmth. Its italic flow and soft finishing strokes suggest tradition and craft, giving text a poetic, editorial feel rather than a purely utilitarian one.
Likely intended to bridge classic serif structure with a hand-drawn, calligraphic cadence—delivering an elegant italic texture for display and short-to-medium text, with enough consistency to hold together in paragraphs.
Spacing appears fairly airy, helping the calligraphic details stay legible in continuous text. Numerals follow the same angled, tapered construction, and the set maintains consistent slant and stroke behavior across caps, lowercase, and figures.
