A serif typeface with a distinctly calligraphic, oldstyle construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show subtle modulation and tapered terminals, with a smooth, pen-like rhythm rather than rigid geometric drawing. Proportions are on the wider side with generous counters and open apertures; curves are round and flowing, while joins stay crisp and controlled. The lowercase features a single-storey a and g, a compact, rounded e, and generally soft, slightly asymmetrical details that reinforce a hand-drawn sensibility without becoming irregular.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, long-form reading, and literary or cultural materials where a traditional serif tone is desired. It can also support invitations, packaging, and brand identities that benefit from a refined yet personable, calligraphic feel—especially at display sizes where its terminals and modulation are more apparent.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, with a warm, cultivated voice reminiscent of traditional editorial typography. Its soft modulation and friendly curves add approachability, while the disciplined serif structure keeps it formal and composed.
The design appears intended to blend the grace of pen-influenced, calligraphic forms with the steadiness of a classic book serif, producing a readable, elegant texture that feels human and crafted. It aims for timelessness and warmth rather than stark modernity.
In text, the face holds an even color and comfortable spacing, with capitals that feel dignified and slightly relaxed rather than monumental. Numerals follow the same oldstyle influence, with rounded forms and mild stroke variation that keep them integrated with the letterforms.
