A slanted, calligraphic roman with high-contrast strokes and a distinctly hand-rendered finish. Letterforms show wedge-like, serifed terminals and tapered joins that suggest a broad-nib or brush influence, with subtle wobble and ink-texture along curves and stems. Proportions are moderately narrow with compact counters, and the rhythm is lively due to varied stroke expansion and slightly irregular outlines. Numerals follow the same sharp, tapered logic, with strong diagonals and pointed ends that keep the set cohesive in display sizes.
Well-suited for display typography such as book and album covers, posters, editorial headlines, and brand marks that want a classic calligraphic flavor. It can also work for packaging and event materials where a formal, handcrafted tone is desirable, especially at larger sizes where the textured stroke character remains legible.
The overall tone feels formal yet artisanal—evoking old-world lettering, printed ephemera, and storybook or editorial titling. Its energetic slant and textured edges add drama and a human presence, giving text a crafted, slightly theatrical voice rather than a pristine typographic polish.
The design appears intended to translate traditional calligraphic strokes into a consistent, typographic system—combining a formal italic structure with expressive, hand-cut terminals and visible stroke texture for a vintage, crafted impression.
Caps have a sturdy, carved look with pronounced wedges, while lowercase forms lean more fluid and cursive in movement without fully connecting. The font’s texture and contrast are visually prominent, so it reads best when given a bit of space and size to let the tapered terminals and roughened stroke edges show clearly.
