A high-contrast calligraphic italic with a crisp, engraved look. Strokes swing along a consistent rightward slant, with thin hairlines and strong, tapered downstrokes that create a lively thick–thin rhythm. Forms are open and slightly condensed in places, while capitals use generous swashes and sweeping entry/exit strokes. Terminals often finish in sharp points or teardrop-like ends, and the figures follow the same italic, calligraphic logic with angled stress and tapered joins.
Best for display typography such as invitations, announcements, book or magazine headlines, and luxury branding where a formal script-like impression is desired. It can work in short editorial passages at comfortable sizes, but the fine hairlines and high contrast will be most reliable in print-like, high-resolution or larger-size applications.
The overall tone is refined and ceremonial, suggesting traditional penmanship and classical publishing. Its confident swashes and dramatic contrast give it a romantic, old-world elegance suited to expressive, premium settings rather than utilitarian text.
Designed to evoke formal calligraphy in an italic, serifed idiom—prioritizing elegance, flourish, and contrast for expressive display text. The consistent slant and ornate capitals suggest an emphasis on traditional sophistication and ceremonial styling.
Spacing and rhythm read smoothly in longer lines, but the strongest personality comes through in capitals and headline-sized use where the hairlines and flourishes can breathe. Ascenders and capitals are notably prominent, helping create a stately vertical movement across words.
