A flowing, slanted serif style with tapered, brushlike strokes and gently flared terminals. Letterforms show moderate contrast and a lively, handwritten rhythm, with subtle entry/exit strokes that create a continuous sense of motion without actual joining. Capitals are generous and expressive, with occasional swash-like extensions (notably in forms such as Q, R, and Y), while lowercase maintains a consistent, readable structure and a slightly looped, cursive sensibility. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, using angled stress and slender curves to match the text color.
Well-suited to literary and editorial display, such as book covers, chapter openers, pull quotes, and magazine features where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits formal invitations, certificates, boutique branding, and short passages that benefit from a crafted, calligraphic presence.
The font conveys a refined, classical tone—poetic, formal, and slightly theatrical—evoking hand-set book typography and pen-lettered inscriptions. Its movement and flourishes add warmth and personality while staying composed and traditional.
The design appears intended to capture the grace of broad-nib or pointed-pen lettering in a typographic form, balancing expressive capitals and tapered strokes with steady lowercase readability for refined display and occasional text use.
Texture in paragraph settings is airy and dynamic, with strong diagonals and varied terminal treatments that keep lines from feeling rigid. The most decorative moments concentrate in capitals and a few distinctive lowercase shapes, so the overall voice remains polished rather than ornate.
