This typeface presents a right-leaning, calligraphic serif style with gently tapered strokes and moderate thick–thin modulation. Letterforms show soft, bracketed serif endings and subtly rounded joins, giving curves a smooth, inked continuity rather than rigid geometry. Proportions are slightly condensed with lively rhythm, and the set maintains consistent slant and stroke logic across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Counters are open and oval, with ascenders and descenders that feel moderately long, supporting a graceful vertical flow in text.
It suits editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium text where an elegant italic texture is desirable. The refined stroke modulation also works well for invitations, certificates, boutique branding, and premium packaging where a classic, written feel can add character.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, evoking a traditional bookish elegance with a handwritten warmth. Its italic posture and tapered terminals add a sense of motion and sophistication, making the voice feel expressive without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a formal, calligraphy-informed italic that reads smoothly while still showing hand-led nuance. It balances traditional serif structure with fluid stroke endings to create a polished, expressive voice for display and refined typographic accents.
Capitals appear more formal and measured, while the lowercase introduces more cursive-like movement and soft entry/exit strokes, creating clear hierarchy in mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, pairing well with the letterforms in running text.
