A slanted, calligraphic serif design with pronounced thick–thin contrast and softly bracketed wedge-like serifs. Strokes show a consistent broad-nib logic: heavier downstrokes, tapered entries and exits, and gently swelling curves that create a lively rhythm. Capitals are sculpted and slightly expansive, while lowercase forms are compact with smooth joins and restrained terminal flicks rather than fully cursive connections. Numerals share the same italic momentum and contrast, with rounded bowls and tapered ends that keep the texture even in text.
Well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and cover titling where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits invitations, certificates, and premium branding or packaging that benefits from a formal, crafted impression. In longer passages it can work for short-to-medium text blocks, especially when ample size and spacing preserve the crisp hairlines and contrast.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, evoking formal correspondence, bookish elegance, and old-world craft. Its italic movement and high contrast give it a poised, expressive voice that feels ceremonial without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to capture a disciplined, broad-nib calligraphic feel within a consistent typographic system—combining traditional serif construction with italic fluency for expressive, refined settings.
Letterforms maintain a consistent forward pressure and clear baseline discipline, producing a polished, repeatable texture rather than an improvised look. The contrast and narrow internal counters suggest best results at comfortable display and text sizes where the hairlines and tapered terminals can remain distinct.
