A slender, right-leaning serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline terminals and gently flared, wedge-like serifs. Curves are soft and slightly irregular in a natural way, and capitals feel tall and elegant with open bowls and tapered joins. The lowercase is compact with ascenders that reach high above a relatively low x-height, while numerals follow the same brisk, pen-drawn rhythm and angled stress.
This font suits editorial headlines, pull quotes, and book or journal titling where a classical, calligraphic voice is desired. It also works well for invitations, certificates, and branding that benefits from elegant italics and a handcrafted serif texture. For longer text, it will be most effective at comfortable sizes and with generous leading to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is graceful and old-world, suggesting hand-written formality rather than mechanical precision. It reads as cultured and literary, with a quiet drama from the sharp hairlines and sweeping italics. The texture on the page feels airy and refined, lending a historical, human touch.
The design appears intended to translate broad-nib or pointed-pen writing into a refined serif italic for display and expressive text. Its tapered serifs, strong modulation, and tall proportions prioritize elegance and historical character over neutrality.
Spacing appears moderately loose for an italic, helping the lively diagonals and long ascenders avoid collisions in text. Several characters show expressive entry/exit strokes and tapered ends, giving the face a slightly personal, manuscript-like cadence even in capitals.
