A slanted, calligraphy-influenced serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, pen-like terminals. Strokes feel carved and dynamic, with sharp joins, occasional teardrop/ball-like finishing touches, and modest swash behavior in capitals. Counters are relatively tight and the overall set feels compact, with a lively baseline rhythm and slightly irregular, hand-touched detailing that keeps repeated forms from feeling purely mechanical. Numerals follow the same angled, high-contrast logic, with curled entries and exits that read clearly at display sizes.
Best used for display typography such as event invitations, certificates, book or magazine headlines, brand marks, and premium packaging where a classic, calligraphic voice is desired. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads, but the strong modulation and decorative detailing are more comfortable at larger sizes than in dense body copy.
The font conveys a formal, old-world elegance with a handwritten flourish—more invitational and ceremonial than utilitarian. Its energetic italic movement and decorative finishing give it a romantic, literary tone suited to expressive, elevated messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic formal pen-written lettering in a consistent typographic system, balancing traditional serif structure with expressive, calligraphic movement. It prioritizes character and elegance—especially in capitals—while keeping forms readable for short passages.
Capitals show the most personality, with varied internal curves and occasional hooked or curled strokes that add emphasis in headlines. In text settings the pronounced contrast and slant create a strong texture, so spacing and line length benefit from generous breathing room.
