A calligraphic serif design with a consistent rightward slant and subtly flared stroke endings. Letterforms show medium contrast with tapered joins and gently sharpened terminals that echo broad-pen movement rather than rigid geometry. Capitals are slightly expansive and rhythmic, with occasional modest swashes (notably in forms like Q) that add movement without becoming overly ornate. Lowercase remains open and readable, with a steady baseline rhythm and softly irregular, hand-led modulation that keeps textures lively in text.
Works well for book and chapter titles, editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short passages where a formal handwritten character is desirable. It also fits invitations, certificates, and boutique packaging that benefits from a traditional, slightly swashy serif presence.
The overall tone feels classic and bookish, with an old-world elegance that suggests handwritten formality rather than modern minimalism. Its lively slant and tapered details give it a warm, narrative quality suited to expressive headings and refined display settings.
The design appears intended to capture the grace of formal pen lettering in a typographic system: readable, controlled, and consistent, but with enough stroke modulation and flourish to feel human and expressive. It aims to provide a classic, calligraphic voice for display typography without tipping into high-ornament scripts.
Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, using curved strokes and pointed terminals that harmonize with the alphabet. The texture in the sample paragraph appears even and composed at display sizes, while the italic angle and narrow joins encourage airy spacing and a flowing line.
