A slanted calligraphic serif with crisp, chiseled strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show tapered terminals and sharp, wedge-like serifs, with subtly swelling curves and a rhythmic, forward-leaning cadence. Counters are open and rounded, while joins and diagonals stay clean and pointed, giving the overall texture a lively, pen-driven feel rather than a rigid, geometric one.
Well suited for display and short-to-medium passages where a refined, classical voice is desired—such as book or chapter titles, magazine features, invitations, certificates, and boutique branding. It can also work for pull quotes and emphasized text, where its lively rhythm and contrast are allowed to breathe with generous spacing.
The tone is polished and cultured, evoking traditional writing and classical print aesthetics. Its energetic slant and high-contrast strokes add a sense of motion and sophistication, leaning more toward expressive refinement than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to translate formal penmanship into a consistent typographic system, balancing calligraphic expressiveness with readable, structured serifs. It prioritizes elegance and a traditional literary feel, aiming for a graceful texture in both all-caps settings and mixed-case text.
Capitals appear stately and slightly flamboyant, pairing well with more compact lowercase that maintains a consistent slant and contrast. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with elegant curves and sharp entry/exit strokes that keep them visually aligned with text settings.
