A calligraphy-influenced serif with bracketed, softly flared terminals and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a gentle, pen-like rhythm: thick-and-thin transitions are smooth rather than sharp, with subtly tapered ends and occasional teardrop-like finishes. Proportions lean slightly narrow in the capitals while the lowercase stays open and readable, and the overall color on the page is even, with crisp serifs that remain rounded at the joins.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine work, and display settings where a classic, literary voice is desired. It can also support formal branding and invitation-style materials, particularly when set at sizes that let the serifs and stroke modulation read clearly.
The tone feels classic and cultivated, evoking printed literature and traditional correspondence. Its restrained flourishes add elegance without becoming overly decorative, giving it a poised, trustworthy presence.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional calligraphic forms with practical text readability, delivering a polished serif voice with hand-influenced nuance. It prioritizes an even reading texture while adding subtle flourish to enhance personality in headings and short passages.
Capitals present a dignified, inscriptional feel with confident verticals and understated curvature, while the lowercase adds warmth through soft terminal shaping and a gentle baseline cadence. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with smooth curves and tapered stroke endings that keep them visually consistent with the text.
