This typeface presents an oblique, calligraphic construction with gently tapered strokes and moderate stroke modulation. Letterforms are compact and relatively narrow, with a consistent rightward slant and subtly varying set widths that create a lively rhythm in text. Serifs and terminals are soft and brush-like, often forming slight wedges or teardrop finishes, while curves are drawn with an organic, pen-driven smoothness. Uppercase characters feel slightly formal and sculpted, and the lowercase maintains a compact profile with small counters and ascenders that read as intentionally stylized rather than strictly geometric.
It works best for display-oriented settings where an elegant handwritten voice is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, editorial headlines, pull quotes, and boutique branding. It can also support short passages in larger sizes where the calligraphic rhythm and compact proportions remain clear.
The overall tone is graceful and cultured, suggesting handwritten formality rather than casual note-taking. Its flowing slant and restrained flourish evoke classic correspondence, bookish quotations, and ceremonial titling, with a calm, refined confidence.
The design appears intended to capture the disciplined feel of formal pen lettering—clean, legible, and consistent—while preserving the natural variations and tapered terminals associated with calligraphy. It prioritizes an expressive, classic voice suitable for refined display typography.
Figures follow the same italic, calligraphic logic as the letters, with curved forms and tapered entry/exit strokes that keep the numerals visually integrated in running text. Spacing and proportions favor a smooth diagonal movement across words, making the texture feel continuous and gently animated.
