A calligraphic serif with crisp, flared terminals and pronounced stroke contrast. The letterforms show a gently hand-drawn rhythm: stems taper into wedge-like serifs, curves swell then thin quickly, and many joins feel subtly brushed rather than mechanically uniform. Proportions are slightly condensed in places with a short x-height, while capitals carry broader, more sculpted silhouettes and lively diagonals. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same sharp, chiseled finishing, giving text a textured, lively color rather than a perfectly even typographic gray.
Well-suited for book covers, chapter openers, pull quotes, and other editorial settings where a classic voice is desired. It also fits invitations, certificates, and premium packaging where sharp calligraphic finishing can signal formality. For best results, use at display sizes or in short text passages where the contrast and tapered terminals remain crisp.
The overall tone feels classical and literary, with an old-world formality that reads as cultured and slightly dramatic. Its sharp, tapered detailing adds a ceremonial edge, suggesting tradition and craft while remaining clear enough for display text.
Likely designed to capture a formal, pen-influenced serif look with expressive tapering and refined contrast, balancing readability with decorative, calligraphic character for headline and title typography.
Several glyphs feature distinctive, angular entry and exit strokes that create a subtle "spark" along baselines and caps, especially in diagonals and curved letters. Spacing in running text appears comfortable, and the strong thick–thin pattern is most prominent at larger sizes where the tapered ends can fully resolve.
