A calligraphy-influenced serif with gently bracketed, flaring serifs and a subtly modulated stroke. The letterforms show a lively, hand-shaped rhythm: curved strokes swell and taper, terminals often finish with a slight hook or wedge, and joins feel organic rather than strictly geometric. Proportions are comfortable and traditional, with open bowls and counters, a slightly irregular (human) cadence, and numerals that follow the same serifed, old-style logic for a cohesive texture in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also work effectively for literary branding, invitations, and packaging that benefits from a crafted, historic voice, especially at text and modest display sizes where its calligraphic details remain clear.
The overall tone is warm and literary, evoking printed pages, classical references, and a quietly historic character. Its small idiosyncrasies and calligraphic motion add charm and approachability, keeping it from feeling sterile or overly formal.
The design appears intended to reinterpret old-style serif conventions with visible pen-driven influence, prioritizing readable rhythm and a warm, human texture over strict neutrality. Its consistent serif grammar and gently animated strokes suggest a focus on comfortable, classic typography for continuous text.
Diagonal and curved letters carry much of the personality, with soft tension through the curves and lightly angled stress that helps maintain an even text color. Serifs are present but not heavy, contributing definition without turning the face into a display-only style.
