A calligraphic serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and a subtly sculpted stroke modulation that reads as hand-drawn rather than mechanically uniform. The capitals show stately proportions and crisp, blade-like entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase mixes compact bowls with pronounced, angled joins and occasional teardrop-like terminals. Curves are slightly taut and rhythmic, counters remain fairly open, and the numerals follow the same chiseled, pen-informed logic with strong vertical emphasis and expressive diagonals.
Well-suited to titles, pull quotes, and editorial headings where a classic, calligraphic voice is desired. It can also support branding for heritage-leaning products, cultural institutions, and formal announcements such as invitations, certificates, or event programs.
The overall tone is formal and old-world, evoking bookish refinement and a hint of medieval or Renaissance display lettering. Its sharp terminals and controlled flourish convey ceremony and tradition without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to translate broad-pen or chisel-pen calligraphy into a readable, typographic form with strong silhouette and a refined, historical character. It prioritizes expressive terminals and classical proportion to create authority and warmth in display settings.
Spacing appears comfortable for display and short text, with noticeable personality in letters like the g, k, and s where the stroke endings become more dramatic. The design maintains consistency across cases, keeping the same angled stress and flared finishing throughout.
