A calligraphic serif with a subtly hand-drawn rhythm, showing tapered joins, flared stroke endings, and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes carry noticeable (but not extreme) modulation, with rounded counters and slightly irregular curves that keep the texture lively. Proportions are fairly traditional, with sturdy capitals and readable lowercase forms; the italic-like movement is suggested through soft, directional terminals rather than a true slant. Numerals and capitals share the same chiseled, pen-cut character, creating a consistent, bookish color across lines of text.
Well-suited to editorial typography, bookish layouts, and display-to-text applications where a traditional serif with a human touch is desired. It can carry headlines and pull quotes with authority, and also works for formal stationery, labels, and packaging that benefit from a crafted, heritage feel.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with an old-world polish tempered by human warmth. It reads as formal and established rather than flashy, evoking editorial and traditional print contexts while still feeling personable.
Likely designed to blend traditional serif structure with pen-influenced modulation, producing a readable typeface that feels crafted rather than mechanical. The intent appears to be a versatile, classic voice that adds warmth and personality without sacrificing clarity.
Capitals present strong, sculpted silhouettes, while the lowercase keeps a gentle, handwritten cadence through tapered terminals and slightly variable curves. The texture in paragraph settings looks intentionally organic, favoring character over strict geometric regularity.
