A formal calligraphic italic with high-contrast strokes and a brisk rightward slant. Letterforms are built from tapered, pen-like strokes that swell on curves and thin to sharp terminals, producing a lively, slightly variable rhythm across the line. Capitals are prominent and sculpted with gentle swashes and hooked entries, while the lowercase stays compact with a short x-height, modest ascenders, and deeper, curved descenders. The overall texture is crisp and clean rather than brushy, with pointed joins and occasional flourished endings that add movement without connecting the letters.
It performs well in short to medium display settings such as invitations, announcements, chapter openers, book or album titles, and refined branding where an italic calligraphic voice is desirable. Larger sizes allow the contrast and terminal detailing to read clearly, making it especially effective for prominent lines rather than small body copy.
The font conveys a classic, cultivated tone—polished and expressive, with a hint of old-world formality. Its slanted, calligraphic cadence reads as ceremonious and literary, suitable for messages that want to feel considered and crafted.
The design appears intended to emulate a controlled, broad-pen calligraphic hand in an italic serif idiom, balancing readability with decorative movement. Its proportions and swashy accents suggest a focus on elegant display typography that feels traditional and crafted rather than mechanistic.
Numerals echo the same pen-influenced contrast and slant, mixing sturdy bowls with sharp finishing strokes. In text, the uneven internal widths and energetic terminals create a dynamic color that favors display sizes over dense, continuous reading.
