A slanted calligraphic face with crisp, high-contrast strokes and pronounced tapered terminals. Letterforms show a rhythmic, pen-driven construction: thickened downstrokes, hairline joins, and sharp wedge-like serifs or entry/exit strokes that often curl into small swashes. Uppercase characters are more embellished, with sweeping diagonal stress and occasional looped or hooked starts, while the lowercase maintains a consistent, flowing cadence with clear counters and compact proportions. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with angled forms and pointed terminals that match the letters.
Well-suited for invitations, announcements, and other formal stationery where a calligraphic voice is desired. It also works for book or chapter titles, short quotations, and branding applications that benefit from an elegant, traditional script-like texture, especially in larger sizes.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, evoking handwritten formality rather than casual brushwork. It feels poised and expressive, lending a sense of ceremony and old-world elegance to text while still reading clearly at display sizes.
The design appears intended to emulate a controlled broad-nib or pointed-pen hand, balancing decorative swash cues with consistent letter construction for readable, formal display typography.
Spacing appears relatively tight and the rightward slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a continuous handwritten rhythm. The texture on a line is lively due to the contrast and frequent terminal flicks, so it reads best when allowed a bit of size and breathing room.
