This typeface presents slanted, serifed letterforms with crisp, high-contrast strokes and a distinctly calligraphic pen rhythm. Stems taper into sharp terminals, with wedge-like serifs and occasional hooked or flared endings that create a lively, drawn feel. Curves are generous and slightly asymmetric, and many joins show a subtle brush- or broad-nib logic where thick-to-thin transitions are emphasized. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the set a handcrafted texture while maintaining consistent overall spacing and a coherent italic flow.
It suits applications where elegance and personality are desired: invitations, formal announcements, short editorial passages, pull quotes, and distinctive branding moments. It reads best at display sizes or in larger text settings where the fine hairlines, sharp serifs, and expressive terminals can remain clear.
The tone is formal and expressive, balancing classical bookish elegance with a romantic, handwritten flair. Its energetic diagonals and pointed terminals add a touch of drama, while the refined contrast keeps it feeling polished rather than casual.
The design appears intended to evoke formal calligraphy in a typographic form—capturing the pressure changes and angular finishing of a pen while keeping the alphabet structured and repeatable. Its varying proportions and expressive terminals suggest a focus on graceful, high-impact typography rather than neutral body-text utility.
Uppercase letters feature more pronounced, sweeping contours—especially in rounded forms—while lowercase shapes lean into a fluid, cursive-like movement without actually connecting. Numerals follow the same slanted, calligraphic construction and retain the sharp, tapered finishing strokes seen in the letters.
