A slanted, calligraphic serif with energetic stroke modulation and smooth, brush-like curves. Letterforms show bracketed, teardrop-like terminals and softly swelling joins that create a lively rhythm. Capitals are prominent and slightly swashy, with generous curves (notably in C, G, Q, and S) and a flowing italic construction across the set. Lowercase is compact and rhythmic with single-storey forms and a gently looping, handwritten feel; numerals follow the same italic, sculpted logic with rounded entry/exit strokes.
Well suited for invitations, certificates, and other formal stationery, as well as branding and packaging that benefits from an elegant handwritten signature. It can work for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short passages where a classic italic presence and expressive texture are desired.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with a distinctly human, written character. Its strong slant and swelling strokes evoke ceremonial calligraphy and classic print italics, reading as expressive and refined rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a dignified, calligraphy-informed italic that feels traditional and crafted, pairing strong contrast with smooth, confident curves. It aims for an expressive display voice that communicates ceremony and heritage while remaining legible in short to medium-length settings.
In text, the lively terminals and pronounced curves create a strong texture that suits display sizes best; at smaller sizes the internal counters and tight joins may feel busy. The design keeps a consistent slanted axis and contrast pattern across letters and figures, helping it read as a cohesive script-like italic rather than a loose casual hand.
