A compact, right-leaning calligraphic italic with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a consistent broad-nib stress. Strokes taper into sharp, wedge-like entries and exits, with teardrop and hook terminals appearing throughout. Capitals are sculptural and slightly flourished, showing curved spines and brisk, angled serifs, while the lowercase keeps a tight rhythm with pointed joins and modest ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same angled, calligraphic construction, with curved bowls and crisp, tapered terminals.
Well-suited for invitations, announcements, certificates, and other formal collateral where a calligraphic voice is desired. It can also work for branding wordmarks, book or chapter titles, and short headlines that benefit from a traditional, high-contrast italic texture.
The overall tone feels formal and old-world, with an expressive pen-drawn energy that reads as ceremonial and literary rather than casual. Its brisk slant and high contrast give it a dramatic, slightly theatrical presence suited to refined, traditional styling.
Likely intended to emulate a controlled, broad-nib calligraphy style in a legible, typeset form, balancing decorative capital forms with a compact, rhythmic lowercase for setting short texts. The design emphasizes elegance and movement through sharp tapers, angled serifs, and consistent calligraphic stress.
Spacing appears relatively tight, which increases texture and continuity in word shapes, especially in longer lines of text. The design relies on strong diagonals and tapered terminals to maintain motion, and it looks best where the crisp contrast can be preserved at comfortable display or headline sizes.
