A slanted, calligraphy-informed serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and slightly elastic, while joins and serifs feel sharp and pen-driven, creating a lively, angled rhythm across words. Uppercase letters show expressive entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like extensions (notably on forms such as Q and J), while the lowercase maintains a compact, relatively small x-height with clear ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same italic stress with sculpted, flowing forms that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium settings where its contrast and flourish can be appreciated—such as invitations, formal announcements, packaging accents, book or magazine titling, and brand marks for luxury or heritage positioning. It also works well for pull quotes and section headers when paired with a calmer text face.
The overall tone is graceful and cultivated, with a distinctly classical, editorial flavor. Its energetic slant and calligraphic modulation add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, suggesting tradition, taste, and a touch of romance.
The design appears intended to deliver a formal, calligraphic italic voice that feels both traditional and expressive, combining sharp serif structure with pen-like modulation for polished, high-impact typography.
Stroke endings often finish in fine hairlines, and the contrast creates bright internal counters and a sparkling texture in longer lines. The italic angle is consistent and pronounced, and the letterforms keep a disciplined structure despite the flourished details.
