A slanted, calligraphic roman with softly bracketed, serifed forms and a gently modulated stroke. The lettershapes show a consistent pen-driven rhythm: tapered entries, slightly flared terminals, and subtle swelling through curves and joins. Proportions feel compact and relatively narrow, with moderate counters and a steady baseline flow that reads smoothly in continuous text. Uppercase forms are sturdy and slightly embellished, while lowercase maintains clear, bookish silhouettes with a lively, handwritten finish.
Works well for editorial headlines, book and chapter titling, pull quotes, and short passages where a classic, handwritten sensibility is desirable. It can also support boutique branding and packaging that aims for a traditional, crafted feel, especially when set with generous spacing and clean supporting typography.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a personable, hand-rendered warmth rather than strict mechanical precision. Its slant and pen-like modulation suggest formality without feeling cold, making it feel suited to traditional, cultured settings and expressive editorial typography.
The design appears intended to translate formal pen lettering into a consistent text face, balancing readability with visible hand influence. It emphasizes a disciplined calligraphic structure, using restrained flourishes and controlled contrast to create an elegant, timeless voice.
Curves and diagonals carry small irregularities that mimic ink movement, adding texture at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same calligraphic logic, keeping the set visually cohesive for headings and short runs of text.
