A slanted calligraphic design with tapered strokes and crisp, pointed terminals. Letterforms are tall and narrow, with a lively rhythm created by subtle entry and exit strokes and occasional flared serifs. Curves are drawn with smooth, pen-like modulation, while straighter strokes stay clean and slightly angular, giving the face a disciplined yet handwritten character. Spacing feels airy and the narrow set encourages vertical emphasis in words and lines.
Well-suited to invitations, certificates, and formal announcements where an elegant handwritten impression is desired. It also works effectively for short headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and brand marks, especially when set with generous tracking and line spacing. For longer passages, it benefits from larger sizes to preserve clarity and avoid a crowded texture.
The overall tone is graceful and cultivated, suggesting traditional penmanship and literary refinement. Its sharp terminals and flowing motion lend a slightly dramatic, romantic flavor without becoming overly ornamental.
Likely designed to evoke classical italic pen lettering in a clean, typographic form, balancing calligraphic nuance with consistent proportions for setting readable display text.
Uppercase forms show restrained swash-like gestures (notably in letters such as J, Q, and Z), while lowercase maintains a consistent, upright-to-slanted cursive structure without connecting strokes. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender figures and small flicks that keep them visually aligned with the letters.
