A slanted calligraphic italic with sharp, tapered terminals and strong thick–thin modulation. Strokes show a broad-pen sensibility: heavy downstrokes, hairline entry/exit strokes, and wedge-like serifs that often curl into small swashes. Letterforms are moderately narrow with lively, variable sidebearings, giving the line a rhythmic, slightly undulating texture. Capitals feature prominent curved lead-ins and occasional flourishes, while the lowercase remains unconnected and cleanly articulated for text-like setting.
Well suited to invitations, announcements, certificates, and other formal stationery where an italic calligraphic voice is desired. It also performs effectively in short headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding wordmarks, especially at medium to larger sizes where the contrast and flourished terminals can read clearly.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, evoking traditional correspondence and bookish elegance. Its crisp contrast and sweeping joins add a sense of ceremony and polish without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, pen-written italic for elegant display and formal messaging, combining traditional calligraphic contrast with restrained swash details to keep text usable while still expressive.
Round characters and diagonals (such as C, G, S, and V/W forms) emphasize flowing curves paired with sharp, pointed finishes. Numerals follow the same italic stress and contrast, with angled tops and tapered terminals that harmonize with the letterforms.
