A calligraphic serif with softly sculpted strokes, moderate contrast, and a subtly hand-formed rhythm. The letterforms show bracketed, slightly flared serifs and rounded joins that suggest a broad-pen influence rather than rigid geometric construction. Capitals feel stately and slightly irregular in silhouette, while the lowercase is more fluid with gentle curves, open counters, and occasional wedge-like terminals. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with varied widths and softly tapered strokes that match the text color of the alphabet.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book or long-form reading, and display lines where a traditional voice is desired. It can also serve invitations, labels, and branding that benefit from a classic serif presence with a subtle hand-rendered character.
The overall tone is classic and literary, balancing formality with an approachable, human presence. It evokes traditional print and editorial typography, but with enough handwritten warmth to feel personal rather than mechanical.
Likely designed to capture the dignity of a traditional serif while introducing the nuance and charm of pen-drawn construction. The goal appears to be a readable text face with expressive details that add personality without becoming ornate.
Spacing appears intentionally lively, with noticeable width variation and a slightly animated baseline impression across different glyphs. The italic-like movement is achieved through stroke shaping and terminals rather than a strong slant, keeping paragraphs readable while maintaining a crafted texture.
