A serifed, calligraphic text face with lively, pen-like modulation and slightly irregular, hand-shaped contours. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin contrast with tapered terminals and subtly flared, wedge-like serifs that feel brushed rather than mechanically cut. The proportions are moderately condensed-to-normal with a steady upright stance, while the outlines keep a gentle softness that reads as ink on paper. Lowercase forms are compact and rhythmic, with rounded joins and a consistent, readable structure; numerals and capitals carry the same tapered finishing and flowing weight shifts.
Well-suited to editorial and literary settings such as book covers, chapter openers, pull quotes, and magazine headlines where a classic, crafted voice is desired. It can also support formal stationery and invitation work, as well as boutique branding and packaging that benefits from a refined calligraphic serif presence.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting formal writing done by hand—polished, but not sterile. Its crisp contrast and tapered endings add a quiet elegance, while the organic edges keep it personable and human.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif readability with hand-rendered calligraphic character, delivering a classic text voice with visible pen modulation and gentle, human irregularity for expressive display and short-form reading.
Capitals present a restrained, classical silhouette with slight calligraphic flair, and the sample text shows strong word-shape cohesion at display sizes. The contrast and delicate hairlines give it a refined look, but the soft, brushy terminals prevent it from feeling overly rigid or engraved.
