A slanted, calligraphic text face with a pen-drawn rhythm and gently tapered strokes. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with compact counters and a relatively small x-height that emphasizes ascenders and descenders. Stroke endings often finish in sharp, brush-like points, and curves show a supple, slightly irregular hand pressure that keeps the texture lively. Capitals are restrained but expressive, with subtle flourishes and a consistent forward movement across words; figures follow the same angled, handwritten logic.
Well suited to book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and editorial display where a handwritten, cultivated voice is desired. It can also support invitations, certificates, boutique packaging, and brand marks that benefit from an elegant calligraphic feel, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is cultured and expressive, suggesting handwritten elegance rather than strict formality. It reads as literary and traditional, with a human, slightly dramatic cadence suited to evocative phrasing and titled compositions.
The design appears intended to evoke a refined, handwritten calligraphy style with a consistent slant and controlled contrast, balancing legibility with expressive pen-like terminals. Its narrow proportions and lively modulation aim to deliver a distinctive, literary texture for display and short-to-medium text settings.
Spacing and stroke modulation create a textured line that feels dynamic in longer settings, with noticeable variation in character widths that adds a natural handwritten cadence. The strong slant and narrow build create a distinct vertical momentum, making it most at home when allowed a bit of air in tracking and line spacing.
