This typeface shows clear calligraphic modulation with pronounced thick–thin contrast and gently swelling strokes. Serifs are expressive and often wedge-like, with curved, slightly bracketed joins that soften the forms. Proportions feel traditional, with moderate ascenders/descenders and rounded bowls that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. The rhythm is slightly irregular in a hand-drawn way, while still remaining consistent enough for continuous reading.
It fits well in book and editorial settings where a classical, high-contrast texture is desirable, and it performs especially strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and section openings. The distinctive capitals and oldstyle-feeling figures also suit invitations, certificates, and branding that aims for tradition and refinement.
The overall tone is formal and classical, evoking printed literature and traditional pen work. Its crisp contrast and shaped terminals lend a ceremonial, editorial voice that feels cultured and deliberate rather than casual.
The design appears intended to translate broad-pen or pointed-pen logic into a readable text face, combining formal contrast with gently human irregularities. It prioritizes an elegant page color and expressive terminals to convey tradition and authority without becoming overly ornamental.
Uppercase letters carry sculpted, flaring strokes (notably in C, G, S, and W), while the lowercase maintains sturdy stems and open counters for clarity. Numerals appear oldstyle in character, with varied heights and flowing curves that align with the calligraphic feel.
