A slanted calligraphic serif with crisp thick–thin modulation and tapered, pen-like terminals. Strokes curve with a smooth, slightly springy rhythm, and many capitals carry modest swashes and entry/exit hooks that create a flowing silhouette without connecting letters. Counters are open and rounded, and proportions feel moderately narrow with lively width variation across characters. Numerals and lowercase follow the same calligraphic logic, with angled stress, sharp joins, and delicate finishing strokes.
Best suited to invitations, announcements, and other formal collateral where an elegant italic voice is desired. It works well for short passages such as pull quotes, chapter openers, menus, and cover titling, and can add a premium, traditional accent to logos and packaging when set with generous spacing.
The font reads as refined and ceremonial, with a poetic, old-world sensibility. Its flourishes add warmth and personality while maintaining a composed, bookish tone, making it feel suited to cultured, romantic, or traditional messaging rather than blunt modern minimalism.
The design appears intended to emulate formal pen lettering in a typographic, repeatable form—balancing classical serif structure with calligraphic swashes for a graceful, upscale presentation.
Capitals are especially expressive, using curved arms and occasional extended tails to add movement at display sizes. The overall texture stays light on the page, but the contrast and pointed terminals create clear sparkle in text, giving it a distinctly calligraphic cadence.
