A slanted, calligraphic roman with gently flared, serifed terminals and a rhythm that feels written rather than constructed. Strokes show subtle modulation and a slightly irregular, human hand quality, with tapered joins and occasional spur-like details. Capitals are narrow and poised with soft, classical proportions, while the lowercase is compact with a noticeably small x-height and lively ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same pen-influenced logic, with curved terminals and a lightly oldstyle feel.
Well suited to invitations, announcements, editorial headlines, and short-form display where an elevated handwritten voice is desirable. It can work effectively on book covers and boutique branding, and for pull quotes or titling where the slanted, pen-made character can read as intentional and crafted.
The overall tone is formal and literary, evoking bookish elegance and traditional handwriting. Its restrained flourishes and steady slant suggest refinement and ceremony without tipping into exuberant script.
Designed to capture a formal, pen-written impression in an unconnected alphabet, combining traditional serif structure with calligraphic modulation and gentle flourishes. The intent appears to be a refined display face that communicates classic sophistication while retaining the immediacy of hand-drawn letterforms.
Letterforms keep counters fairly open for a calligraphic style, but the compact lowercase and narrow set make it feel best when given generous size or spacing. The design’s personality comes through in the tapered strokes, slightly varied widths, and the distinctive, flowing capital forms.
