A slanted, calligraphic serif with flowing, pen-like construction and sculpted strokes. Letterforms show moderate thick–thin modulation and long, tapered entry/exit strokes, with many capitals featuring generous loops and sweeping terminals. The defining feature is a consistent inline carving that runs through the main strokes, producing a crisp, engraved look and adding sparkle at display sizes. Proportions lean narrow-to-variable across glyphs, with a relatively small x-height and lively ascenders/descenders that create a rhythmic, dancing texture in words.
Well-suited to display typography such as headlines, event titling, brand marks, and premium packaging where the inline engraving can be appreciated. It also fits formal stationery—wedding or gala invitations, certificates, and menu covers—especially when paired with a restrained serif or sans for supporting text.
The inline detailing and italic calligraphy give the font a refined, theatrical tone—equal parts formal invitation script and vintage engraving. It reads as polished and expressive, with a boutique, fashion-forward energy that feels ceremonial rather than casual.
Designed to emulate an engraved, hand-lettered italic with decorative presence, combining classic calligraphic forms with a carved inline effect for added richness. The goal appears to be high-impact elegance for short phrases and titles rather than dense, small-size reading.
Capitals are notably ornate and attention-grabbing, while lowercase maintains a connected, cursive feel without fully joining between letters in the samples. The inline cut helps preserve clarity in heavier strokes, but the many thin joins and flourished terminals suggest it will look best when given room and used at larger sizes.
