A slanted, calligraphy-influenced serif with ink-like stroke modulation and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms show bracketed serifs, softly rounded joins, and a consistent rightward italic angle, producing a smooth diagonal rhythm across words. Proportions are moderate with open counters and slightly variable character widths, while ascenders and descenders are expressive without becoming overly ornate. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with curved entries and subtle swelling in thicker strokes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and book or magazine titling where a classic italic voice adds emphasis and sophistication. It also fits invitations, certificates, and boutique branding that benefit from a formal handwritten feel while staying legible in short text blocks.
The overall tone feels cultured and traditional, like handwritten formal correspondence translated into a readable text face. Its lively stroke endings and gentle flourishes add warmth and personality, while the controlled structure keeps it poised and bookish.
The font appears designed to evoke traditional calligraphic writing in a structured, typographic form—balancing expressive italic movement with consistent serifed construction for elegant, dependable reading.
Capitals have a graceful, slightly swashy presence that reads well at display sizes, while the lowercase remains relatively restrained for continuous text. The design maintains a steady baseline and consistent slant, giving paragraphs an even, flowing texture rather than a jagged handwritten look.
