A slanted calligraphic roman with a lively, brush-like stroke and crisp, bracketed serifs. Letters show tapered terminals, occasional entry/exit flicks, and gently modulated curves that give the forms a written rhythm while remaining unconnected. Capitals are wide and slightly swashy with strong diagonal stress, while lowercase forms are compact with a relatively small x-height and clear ascender/descender presence. Numerals follow the same italic flow with open counters and curved, hand-influenced finishes.
This style suits short-to-medium display text where its calligraphic motion can be appreciated—titles, pull quotes, packaging names, and formal stationery. It can also work for tasteful branding and event materials where an elegant, handwritten impression is desired, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels refined and old-world, balancing formality with a personable handwritten energy. Its flowing slant and tapered strokes suggest classic correspondence, bookish display settings, and stylish editorial accents rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional pen or brush calligraphy in a structured, typographic form—delivering a formal, classic voice with enough flourish to feel crafted and expressive.
Stroke endings often finish in pointed or softly rounded tips, creating a consistent forward motion across words. Spacing appears moderately tight in running text, enhancing the cohesive, cursive-like color while keeping individual letterforms distinct.
