A slanted calligraphic serif with compact proportions and a lively, drawn rhythm. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with tapered entries and exits, and many letters feature rounded terminals, small hooks, and occasional swashes (notably in capitals). The forms are relatively narrow with tight internal counters and a steady baseline flow, giving words a dense, continuous texture despite the letters remaining unconnected. Numerals and lowercase share the same italicized, pen-like construction, with sturdy stems and softened, brush-like edges.
This font is well suited to short display settings where its swashed capitals and compact italic texture can read clearly—such as packaging, brand marks, event materials, invitations, certificates, and editorial headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or short subheads when you want a formal, classic accent without connecting script.
The overall tone feels traditional and refined, with a romantic, old-world polish. Its flowing italic motion and decorative caps suggest ceremony and heritage rather than a strictly utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to evoke a pen-written, formal italic tradition—balancing legibility with decorative capital flair. It aims to deliver a compact, emphatic display voice with a ceremonial feel while maintaining consistent, repeatable letterforms for setting words and short passages.
Capitals are the most expressive, using flourishy curves and curled terminals that create strong word-shape at display sizes. Lowercase stays more restrained but remains distinctly calligraphic, with rounded joins, angled stress, and a slightly bouncy cadence that keeps lines from feeling rigid.
