A calligraphic serif with gently tapered strokes, bracketed serifs, and softly rounded joins that give the letterforms a hand-influenced rhythm. Curves are full and slightly organic rather than strictly geometric, while verticals stay steady and upright. Capitals show modest flare and confident stems; lowercase keeps compact proportions with clear counters and a calm, even texture in text. Figures follow the same oldstyle sensibility, with rounded forms and subtle stroke modulation that keeps them comfortable alongside the letters.
Well suited to long-form editorial and book typography where a traditional, humanist texture is desired. It also fits formal invitations, certificates, and elegant packaging or branding that benefits from a classic, calligraphic serif voice.
The overall tone feels formal yet approachable, evoking traditional printed literature and refined correspondence. Its mild irregularity and soft finishing details add warmth without becoming rustic or playful.
Designed to capture the refinement of pen-influenced letterforms in a sturdy serif text style, balancing expressive modulation with consistent proportions for readable, composed setting.
Spacing and rhythm read smoothly in the paragraph sample, producing a cohesive, darker text color suited to continuous reading. Distinctive shapes like the curved leg on the R, the angled strokes in K and V/W, and the gently swashed feel in letters such as Q and y contribute to an expressive but controlled presence.
