A calligraphic, hand-drawn roman with gently flared terminals and subtle stroke modulation. The letterforms are upright with softly bracketed, wedge-like serifs that read more as pen-shaped endings than rigid slabs. Curves are round and open, with slightly irregular, organic contours that keep the rhythm lively without looking messy. Lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a compact, rounded e, and a long-tailed f; capitals are broad and steady with softened joins and a modest, traditional proportion.
It suits book jackets, chapter heads, and editorial pull quotes where a crafted, classic flavor is desired. It also works well for invitations, boutique packaging, and posters that benefit from a friendly, traditional tone while remaining readable at text and display sizes.
The overall tone feels storybook and old-world, like hand-set type with a human touch. Its softened serifs and buoyant curves create a warm, approachable voice that can feel literary, artisanal, and lightly whimsical rather than strictly formal.
The design appears intended to evoke a hand-rendered, calligraphic serif that bridges display charm and comfortable reading. Its controlled contrast and soft, pen-like serifs aim to provide personality and warmth while keeping letterforms familiar and legible in continuous text.
The numerals are rounded and readable with gentle modulation, matching the text face rather than feeling geometric. The type maintains consistent color in paragraphs while preserving small idiosyncrasies in terminals and stroke endings that reinforce the drawn, calligraphic character.
