A calligraphic italic with pronounced stroke modulation, showing sharp, tapered terminals and wedge-like serifs that echo broad-pen construction. Letterforms lean strongly forward and alternate between compact joins and open counters, creating a lively, slightly irregular rhythm typical of drawn lettering. Ascenders are prominent, the x-height sits relatively low, and many forms finish with subtle flicks or swashes that add movement without becoming overly ornate. Numerals follow the same angled, high-contrast logic, with curved strokes and crisp entry/exit points.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, event invitations, packaging accents, and editorial titling where the strong slant and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when generous size and leading preserve clarity.
The overall tone is formal and expressive, blending classic bookish sophistication with a hand-rendered flair. Its sweeping diagonals and crisp terminals give it a theatrical, old-world polish suited to statements rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional calligraphy and classic italic lettering, offering a refined yet animated voice for expressive, premium-facing typography. It prioritizes gesture and contrast to create memorable word shapes and a distinctive page presence.
Curves tend to be full and rounded while verticals and diagonals resolve into pointed ends, producing a crisp silhouette at display sizes. Spacing appears intentionally lively rather than strictly uniform, which enhances character in headlines but can feel energetic in long runs.
