A calligraphic serif with lively, pen-informed modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin contrast, with subtly uneven curves and a gently irregular rhythm that keeps the texture human rather than mechanical. Serifs are small to medium and often flared or bracketed, and joins and bowls have slightly ink-trap-like pinches that emphasize a drawn, tool-driven construction. Proportions lean open and generous, with rounded counters and a slightly soft, organic edge to the outlines that reads well in both caps and lowercase.
Works well for display and short to medium-length text where a refined, handcrafted serif voice is desired—such as book jackets, editorial headlines, pull quotes, invitations, certificates, and boutique or heritage brand identities. In dense body copy, it will be most comfortable at moderate sizes where the stroke contrast and tapered details can breathe.
The overall tone feels classical and bookish, like a hand-rendered titling face or an old-world display serif used for stories, invitations, or heritage branding. Its contrast and tapering lend elegance, while the slight irregularity adds warmth and a crafted, personal character.
This design appears intended to evoke formal handwritten lettering translated into a consistent serif typeface, balancing elegance with a slightly imperfect, human rhythm. It aims to provide a distinctive, literary tone without becoming overly ornate, making it versatile for both expressive headings and readable text blocks.
Capitals appear particularly suited to headings, with strong silhouette and clear internal space, while the lowercase maintains a readable, steady color in running sample text. Numerals match the calligraphic construction, with curved strokes and tapered endings that harmonize with the letterforms.
