A calligraphic serif design with visibly tapered strokes and sharp, flared terminals that suggest a broad-nib or brush origin. Letterforms are slightly irregular in stroke rhythm and contour, giving a hand-rendered cadence while remaining clearly upright and readable. Serifs are wedge-like and often asymmetric, with pointed joins and gently swelling curves; counters tend to be open and generous, and round letters (O, C, G) show a subtle, organic modulation. Numerals and capitals carry the same tapered, slightly playful serif treatment, with a lively baseline presence rather than rigid geometric alignment.
Well-suited for book covers, chapter headings, editorial pull quotes, and cultural or historical-themed branding where a formal calligraphic voice is desired. It also fits invitations, certificates, and poster headlines, especially when set at moderate-to-large sizes that let the tapered terminals and stroke contrast remain crisp.
The overall tone feels classical and literary, like a stylized book face with a human touch. Its sharp terminals and sweeping curves add a touch of drama and ceremony, while the mild irregularity keeps it approachable and story-like rather than austere.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with hand-drawn calligraphic energy—delivering a refined, classic impression while preserving the individuality and movement of written forms.
The sample text shows strong texture at paragraph scale: contrasty strokes and flared serifs create a rhythmic sparkle, with particularly expressive diagonals (V, W, X, Y) and a distinctive, calligraphic flow in lowercase shapes. Spacing reads comfortable and open in display-sized setting, emphasizing the decorative terminals and stroke modulation.
