A delicate, hairline calligraphic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, pen-led stroke rhythm. Capitals are tall and spacious with sharp, tapered terminals and occasional flourishes, while the lowercase keeps a compact body with long ascenders/descenders and lightly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Curves are smooth and slightly organic, giving forms a drawn quality; details like the Q’s sweeping tail and the gently swashed joins in letters such as k, y, and g add animation without connecting the script.
Well suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, titles, and short editorial passages where its contrast and flourishes can be appreciated. It also fits upscale branding applications—wedding or event materials, boutique packaging, and logo wordmarks—especially when set with generous tracking and ample white space.
The overall tone is poised and bookish, evoking formal correspondence and classical print with a subtle handmade sophistication. Its fine strokes and restrained ornamentation read as tasteful and cultured rather than loud, lending a quietly dramatic, old-world elegance.
The design appears intended to translate broad-pen or pointed-pen calligraphy into an upright, typographic form that feels formal and classical. By pairing high contrast with selective swashes and tall proportions, it aims to deliver an elegant display face that carries a refined, literary character.
Spacing appears airy and the light hairlines create a bright page color, making the design feel best at moderate-to-large sizes where contrast and terminals remain clear. Numerals are similarly refined, with open shapes and slim stems that match the text’s graceful cadence.
