A slanted, calligraphy-driven serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered entry/exit strokes. The letterforms show looped, brushlike curves and occasional swash-like terminals, especially in capitals and descenders, giving the face a lively, handwritten rhythm while remaining unconnected. Proportions are compact with relatively small lowercase bodies and prominent ascenders/descenders; counters are narrow and strokes often finish in sharp, pointed tips. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and angled stress, reading as refined rather than utilitarian.
This font suits display settings where elegance and motion are desired: invitations and event materials, boutique branding, book or poetry titles, certificates, and short editorial headlines. It is especially effective for names, pull quotes, and hero lines where its swashy forms and contrast can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and expressive—more like formal handwriting than text typography. It evokes invitations, poetry, and classic stationery, with a graceful, slightly theatrical flourish that feels traditional and cultured.
The design appears intended to capture the look of formal pen calligraphy in a consistent, typographic system—balancing decorative flourish with readable, classical letter shapes for refined display use.
Capitals carry the strongest personality, with generous curvature and occasional extended terminals that can create distinctive word shapes. The italic slant and high contrast make spacing and texture feel airy at larger sizes, while fine hairlines suggest it will look best when given room to breathe.
