A right-leaning, calligraphic serif with a brush-like stroke model and soft, tapered terminals. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation and frequent flaring at ends, giving letters a carved-yet-fluid silhouette. Capitals are rounded and slightly condensed with prominent entry/exit swashes, while lowercase forms keep a lively, irregular rhythm with varying stroke lengths and occasional exaggerated bowls. Numerals follow the same slanted, calligraphic construction, with curved joins and prominent teardrop-like terminals that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where its swashes and contrast can be appreciated, such as headlines, logotypes, packaging titles, posters, and book or album covers. It can also work for invitations and ceremonial materials, but the pronounced calligraphic motion may feel busy in long body copy at small sizes.
The overall tone feels traditional and theatrical, with a storybook and old-world charm. Its lively swashes and forward motion add a sense of flourish and personality, suggesting ceremony, folklore, or heritage themes rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to evoke formal pen lettering with a confident, embellished rhythm—combining readable letterforms with decorative terminals to deliver a historic, expressive voice for display typography.
Spacing appears intentionally energetic rather than strictly uniform, with some glyphs projecting beyond their core shapes via angled terminals and swashes. The uppercase set reads especially decorative, while the lowercase maintains legibility through sturdy counters and consistent slant.
