A soft, calligraphic text face with gently rounded, bracket-like serifs and predominantly even stroke weight. Curves are smooth and slightly elastic, with modest entry/exit flicks that keep letters lively without joining. Proportions feel balanced and readable, with open counters and a calm rhythm; capitals are simple and dignified, while lowercase forms show subtle handwritten influence in their bowls and shoulders. Numerals match the text color with rounded shapes and consistent spacing.
Works well for editorial layouts, book or long-form text, and quote styling where a gentle, traditional voice is desired. It also fits invitations, certificates, and brand identities that want a refined handwritten sensibility without fully cursive letterforms.
The font conveys a quiet, literary elegance—polished but approachable. Its softened serifs and restrained calligraphic motion create a warm, courteous tone suited to traditional and human-centered messaging.
Likely designed to bridge formal calligraphic manners and practical text readability, offering a hand-touched serif look with consistent color and restrained ornament. The emphasis appears to be on an elegant, familiar reading experience with just enough flourish to feel crafted.
In running text, the face maintains an even texture with minimal sparkle, while small flourishes (notably on letters like J, g, y, and z) add character. The overall silhouette stays neat and uncluttered, making it feel formal enough for editorial use but relaxed compared to sharper oldstyle serifs.
