A slanted, calligraphy-informed serif with weighty strokes and rounded, ink-like terminals. The letterforms show gentle modulation and a consistent rightward flow, with softly bracketed serifs and occasional swash-like curls—especially in capitals. Curves are full and slightly compressed, creating a lively rhythm, while counters remain fairly open for a dark, confident color. Overall spacing reads even in text, with noticeable character-to-character width variation typical of a written model.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, titles, branding marks, and packaging where its swashy capitals can be showcased. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes when you want a classic, crafted emphasis; for longer text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where the curves and terminals have room to breathe.
The tone is traditional and personable, balancing formality with a friendly, handcrafted warmth. Its ornamental capitals and flowing italic movement suggest heritage, ceremony, and a touch of vintage charm without feeling overly delicate.
Designed to evoke formal handwritten lettering in a typographic, repeatable form—combining italic momentum, sturdy strokes, and decorative capitals to deliver a traditional, upscale voice suitable for prominent messaging.
Capitals carry the most flourish, using curled entry/exit strokes and teardrop-like terminals that add character in short settings. Numerals follow the same slanted, rounded construction, with distinctive curves that help them feel integrated with the alphabet rather than purely utilitarian.
