This typeface presents a calligraphic serif texture with subtly tapered strokes and gently bracketed serifs that feel drawn rather than mechanically constructed. Curves are full and slightly organic, with mild modulation and occasional flared terminals, giving the outlines a lively, handwritten rhythm. Uppercase forms are stately and open, while the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies—most noticeably in the flowing shapes of a, e, g, and y—creating a warm, bookish color in text. Figures appear proportional and traditional, matching the serifed, slightly calligraphic character of the letters.
It works well for editorial display, book covers, pull quotes, and headings where a classical, cultured voice is desired. The calligraphic modulation and serif detail also suit invitations, event materials, and boutique branding that benefits from a refined, human touch.
The overall tone is formal yet personable, balancing classical sophistication with a human, pen-made nuance. It suggests literary polish, ceremony, and a touch of historical romance without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional calligraphy and oldstyle serif conventions in a clean, contemporary drawing, providing a graceful display face that still maintains readable letterforms. It aims to deliver elegance and personality through tapered strokes and carefully shaped serifs rather than heavy ornament.
The italics are not present here, but the roman has a slight forward energy created by tapering and curved entry/exit strokes, which helps headlines feel fluid. The capitals show crisp joins and confident verticals, while round letters keep a soft, generous aperture that prevents the style from feeling brittle.
