A calligraphic serif with softly flared, bracketed terminals and a gently modulated stroke. The letterforms show an even, upright stance with rounded bowls and tapered joins that suggest a broad-nib influence. Capitals include occasional swash-like flourishes and asymmetrical entries, while lowercase keeps a steady rhythm with slightly varied character widths and open counters for readability. Numerals follow the same soft, tapered treatment, with curved forms and subtle foot-like endings.
This font is well suited to display settings such as book titles, chapter heads, posters, and pull quotes where its calligraphic serif details can be appreciated. It can also support branding, labels, and invitation-style materials that benefit from a traditional, crafted feel. In longer passages it remains legible, but it reads best at moderate-to-large sizes where the tapered terminals and capital flourishes stay clear.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a lightly whimsical, storybook character rather than strict formalism. Its ornamental touches add warmth and personality without becoming overly ornate, making it feel inviting and traditional.
The design appears intended to evoke a hand-crafted, classical writing tradition with restrained decoration—combining readable serif structures with calligraphic taper and occasional swash-like gestures for emphasis.
Stroke endings frequently finish in small hooks or wedges, creating a consistent hand-drawn cadence across the set. The texture in paragraphs is lively due to the variable widths and the distinctive capital shapes, which stand out strongly in title case.
