A serifed, calligraphic text face with noticeably flared and wedge-like terminals and a consistent pen-driven modulation. Strokes show strong thick–thin contrast with slightly softened joins and gently bracketed serifs, giving forms a carved yet handwritten feel. Proportions are moderately compact with lively, irregular rhythm: curves swell and taper, and some diagonals and arms end in pointed, inked-looking tips. The lowercase features a two-storey g, a compact e, and tapered ascenders/descenders; numerals follow the same chiseled, calligraphic logic, with angled entries and pronounced contrast.
Well suited to display and short-to-medium text where a classic, calligraphic voice is desired: book and chapter titles, editorial pull quotes, cultural or event posters, and packaging that benefits from a crafted, traditional impression. It can also work for formal announcements or invitation-style materials where the expressive serifs reinforce a ceremonial tone.
The overall tone is formal and storybook-like, suggesting traditional craft and a historical, manuscript-adjacent atmosphere. Its expressive terminals and rhythmic modulation add a hint of theatricality, making it feel ceremonial rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to translate broad-nib calligraphy into a readable serif text style, balancing tradition with enough consistency for continuous reading. Its flared terminals and high modulation aim to deliver a distinctive, crafted texture while retaining familiar letterforms.
In text, the strong contrast and sharp terminals create clear word shapes and a textured color, especially in mixed-case settings. The uppercase reads stately and prominent, while the lowercase maintains a steady baseline with subtle, hand-drawn variation that keeps paragraphs visually animated.
