A slanted, calligraphic serif design with flared, wedge-like terminals and gently bracketed strokes. Letterforms show moderate stroke modulation and a slightly irregular, hand-driven rhythm, with subtle swelling on curves and tapered entry/exit strokes. Proportions are compact and relatively narrow, with small lowercase bodies and prominent extenders; round letters lean slightly and feel softly asymmetrical. Numerals and capitals carry the same chiselled, pen-cut feeling, with open counters and crisp, angled finishing strokes.
Works well for short-to-medium passages where a traditional, formal voice is desired—such as book covers, chapter heads, pull quotes, and editorial titling. It also suits invitations, programs, certificates, and other ceremonial materials where a calligraphic serif texture reads as refined and intentional.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed epigraphs, invitations, and traditional correspondence. Its energetic slant and crisp terminals add a sense of ceremony and flourish without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to mimic the look of formal pen-written lettering translated into a typographic system, balancing legibility with expressive stroke endings and a lively, slightly irregular cadence.
Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, contributing to an organic texture in paragraphs. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the strongest character comes through in capitals and in curved letters where the stroke tapering is most visible.
