A lively calligraphic roman with flared, wedge-like terminals and subtly tapered strokes that suggest a broad-nib or carved-pen construction. Curves are generous and slightly irregular in a controlled way, giving the letters a hand-shaped rhythm while keeping consistent proportions and spacing. Serifs are not sharp brackets; instead they read as softened, triangular spur forms, with occasional angled entry and exit strokes. Counters are open and round, and the overall silhouette feels sturdy and readable, with enough modulation to add texture without becoming delicate.
This font suits display and short-to-medium text where a handcrafted, traditional voice is desired—book covers, chapter headings, editorial features, event posters, boutique branding, and product packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads when you want warmth and character without sacrificing legibility.
The tone is classic and story-driven, evoking traditional print, signage, and crafted lettering. Its soft wedges and buoyant curves feel inviting and slightly theatrical, with an old-world charm rather than a strict, formal demeanor.
The design appears intended to translate calligraphic tool behavior into a reliable, repeatable text-and-display style: expressive wedges and tapered strokes for personality, paired with stable proportions for clear reading in real-world layouts.
Capitals carry a modest decorative presence with sweeping diagonals and flared finishing strokes, while the lowercase maintains a steady, text-friendly cadence. Numerals match the same carved/inked logic, with rounded forms and angled terminals that keep the set cohesive.
