A calligraphic serif with a distinctly hand-inked construction and moderate stroke modulation. Stems and bowls are smooth but not mechanically uniform, giving the letterforms a lively, penned rhythm. Serifs are present throughout and often appear wedge-like or lightly bracketed, with sharp, tapered terminals on diagonals and curved strokes. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly narrow in presence, while the lowercase shows more movement in ascenders and curved joins; overall spacing reads even and text holds together in paragraphs without feeling rigid.
Works well for book and editorial typography where a classic, human touch is desired, especially in headings, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages. It can also support formal printed pieces such as invitations, programs, certificates, or packaging that benefits from an old-world, calligraphic serif voice.
The font conveys a traditional, literary tone—formal yet personable—suggesting ink on paper rather than engineered geometry. Its crisp serifs and calligraphic shaping add a subtly historic flavor, suitable for refined, narrative-forward typography.
Likely designed to blend the authority of a serif text face with the warmth of hand-drawn calligraphy, offering a traditional reading texture with decorative, ink-like details. The goal appears to be a versatile classic look that feels crafted rather than strictly typographic.
Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with angled entries and tapered ends that keep them consistent with the letters. Curves (notably in C, G, S, and O) show confident, continuous strokes, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) emphasize pointed terminals that heighten the engraved/pen-cut impression.
