A slanted calligraphic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, brush-like terminals. Letterforms mix compact bowls with sweeping entry and exit strokes, creating lively diagonals and occasional swash-like extensions (notably in several capitals). Serifs are sharp and flared rather than strictly symmetrical, and many curves end in teardrop or blade-shaped finishes that emphasize the stroke contrast. Spacing and glyph widths vary noticeably, giving the texture a hand-rendered rhythm and a slightly irregular cadence in longer text.
Best suited to display settings where the contrast and flourishes can be appreciated—headlines, invitations, certificates, and cover typography. It can also work for short passages in editorial or packaging contexts when a classic, calligraphic voice is desired, but its decorative rhythm may feel busy at very small sizes or in dense UI text.
The overall tone feels formal and old-world, with a decorative, storybook elegance. Its energetic swashes and sharp terminals add a theatrical, ceremonial flavor that reads as traditional and expressive rather than minimal or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to evoke formal penmanship and traditional print elegance, combining high-contrast strokes with expressive swashes to create a distinctive, ceremonial display face with a handcrafted feel.
Capitals are especially flamboyant and attention-grabbing, while the lowercase stays more compact, reinforcing hierarchy in headings. Numerals share the same angled stance and contrast, with curved figures showing distinctive hooked or tapered ends that keep the set stylistically unified.
