A slanted, calligraphy-driven serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, bracketed serifs. Strokes taper into rounded, often curled terminals, giving many letters a swashlike entry/exit and a buoyant baseline rhythm. Counters are relatively open and the overall texture is dark yet lively, with slightly irregular, handwritten nuance in the curves and joins rather than rigid, mechanical repetition.
Best suited for headlines and short text where its contrast and flourished terminals can be appreciated—such as book covers, invitations, certificates, editorial features, and brand marks. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads in print-forward layouts when set with comfortable spacing.
The tone reads traditional and ceremonious, with an expressive, inked flourish that feels literary and slightly romantic. Its animated terminals and italic movement add a sense of motion and personality while keeping a formal, classic demeanor.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional pen lettering in a polished, typographic form—combining classic serif structure with decorative, calligraphic terminals to create a distinctive, upscale texture for display-oriented settings.
Capitals lean toward display proportions with prominent curves and decorative terminals, while the lowercase maintains a readable, oldstyle flow. Numerals appear similarly calligraphic, with curved forms and tapered ends that match the text style.
