A calligraphic serif design with gently bracketed, wedge-like serifs and noticeably flared stroke endings that suggest a broad-pen origin. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin pattern, with rounded joins and softly tapered terminals rather than sharp, geometric cuts. Proportions feel traditional with steady caps and a slightly lively, hand-shaped rhythm; curves are generous, counters are open, and spacing reads even in text. Distinctive details include a single-storey “a,” a single-storey “g” with a small ear, and a “Q” with a sweeping tail that reinforces the drawn, expressive finish.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and heritage-leaning branding where a traditional serif voice with hand-touched character is desired. It also works for short text passages when you want a classic reading texture with a more expressive, calligraphic finish than a purely transitional or oldstyle book face.
The overall tone is literary and human, pairing formality with a welcoming, slightly whimsical warmth. It evokes classic printed matter—bookish, historic, and a touch storybook—without feeling overly ornate or ceremonial.
The design appears intended to blend conventional serif structure with broad-pen calligraphic cues, creating a familiar, readable silhouette that still feels crafted and personal. Its consistent rhythm and controlled contrast aim for versatility across display and text-like settings while maintaining a distinctly human, inked personality.
The numerals carry the same flared, inked construction as the letters, with rounded forms and modest decorative terminals that keep them compatible in running text. Diacritics are not shown; punctuation in the sample text appears comfortable at display sizes and remains readable as the texture tightens in paragraph setting.
