A graceful serifed design with a distinctly calligraphic, hand-shaped feel. Strokes are slender and smoothly drawn with gentle modulation, and many terminals flare or taper as if finished with a pen. Serifs are small and bracketed, often more like soft wedges than rigid slabs, and curves are generous with open bowls and counters that keep forms airy. The lowercase has a slightly lively rhythm—noticeable in the looping descenders and softly cupped shoulders—while capitals remain poised and formal with understated, classical proportions.
Well-suited to editorial typography, literary packaging, and book or magazine work where a delicate, classical voice is desired. It can also support invitations, announcements, and refined branding systems, especially in display sizes for titles, pull quotes, and short passages where its calligraphic detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is cultivated and bookish, suggesting careful handwriting elevated into a formal text style. Its light, flowing shapes feel polite and lyrical rather than strict or mechanical, lending an understated sophistication that reads as classic and tasteful.
The design appears intended to bridge formal calligraphy and traditional serif typography—capturing the warmth of drawn letterforms while maintaining the discipline needed for composed text. It prioritizes elegance, openness, and a gentle handwritten cadence over stark geometric regularity.
The alphabet shows consistent stroke behavior and calm spacing, with decorative moments concentrated in select forms (notably the more flourish-like lowercase descenders and the italic-leaning gesture in some curved joins). Numerals follow the same refined approach, staying simple and readable while retaining the soft, hand-finished terminal treatment.
