A slanted, calligraphy-inspired serif with gently tapered strokes and clear thick–thin modulation. Letterforms show bracketed, wedge-like serifs and occasional swashy terminals, producing a lively baseline rhythm without connecting strokes. Proportions feel generous and open, with rounded bowls, slightly extended ascenders/descenders, and a smooth, pen-driven curve logic that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to editorial titling, pull quotes, and refined branding where an italic, calligraphic voice is desired. It can also support formal stationery—such as invitations, programs, and certificates—where its swashy details and serif structure add polish and tradition.
The overall tone is poised and traditional, evoking classic book typography with a more expressive, handwritten polish. It reads as graceful and cultivated rather than casual, adding a sense of ceremony and old-world charm to short passages and titles.
Designed to blend the structure of a classic italic serif with the expressiveness of calligraphic pen forms, aiming for an elevated, literary texture that remains legible while still feeling handcrafted.
Capitals have a slightly flourishy, display-leaning presence, while the lowercase maintains a steady text rhythm thanks to clear counters and restrained ornament. Numerals follow the same italic, serifed construction, helping mixed-content settings feel cohesive.
