A lively serif with clearly calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show subtle modulation and swelling, with rounded, slightly bulbous terminals that keep the texture soft rather than sharp. The letterforms lean on oldstyle proportions: open apertures, modest x-height, and a rhythmic, handwritten irregularity in curves and joins while remaining consistent enough for running text. Numerals and capitals share the same rounded, pen-driven finishing and slightly varying widths, creating a natural, organic line color.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired with a more personal, hand-rendered feel. It can also support invitations, boutique branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, crafted tone and a slightly whimsical warmth.
The overall tone feels classic and bookish, with a warm, human presence that suggests ink on paper rather than mechanical precision. It conveys a mildly antiquarian, storybook mood—formal enough for traditional settings, but friendly and approachable due to its soft curves and lively cadence.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with the character of formal pen lettering—capturing the rhythm and terminal behavior of calligraphy while maintaining a coherent text face structure for consistent setting.
Caps have a gently decorative stance without becoming ornate, and the lowercase shows expressive stroke endings and rounded shoulders that enliven paragraphs. Spacing reads moderately generous, helping the textured serifs and terminals remain distinct in continuous text.
