A slanted, calligraphic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered stroke endings that suggest a broad-nib influence. Capitals are expressive and slightly swashy, with flowing entry/exit strokes and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Lowercase forms are compact and rhythmic, with gently rounded joins, angled terminals, and a lively baseline flow; counters are relatively open for an italic. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, mixing crisp stems with curved, ink-like bowls and a slightly theatrical figure shaping.
This style performs best in display sizes where its contrast and calligraphic details can be appreciated—headlines, pull quotes, book or magazine titling, and refined branding. It also suits invitation suites, certificates, and other formal materials where an elegant italic voice is desired.
The overall tone feels formal and literary, evoking classic book typography and traditional penmanship. Its strong contrast and energetic slant add a sense of drama and sophistication, making it feel more ceremonial than casual.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional, pen-influenced italic with strong contrast and a polished, classic presence. It prioritizes expressive capitals and a smooth reading rhythm to create an upscale, editorial feel.
The design keeps a consistent oblique angle and a steady pen rhythm across letters, while allowing select characters (especially capitals) to show more flourish. Stroke joins and terminals read as intentionally penned rather than mechanically constructed, which gives text a subtle, human cadence.
