A calligraphic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and flared, wedge-like terminals that suggest a broad-nib or pen-influenced construction. The letterforms keep an upright posture while showing subtle, handwritten irregularities in curves and joins, producing a lively rhythm. Serifs are often tapered and slightly splayed, with occasional bracket-like transitions into stems; bowls are open and generously curved, and diagonals finish in crisp points. Lowercase features a single-storey “g” with a generous loop and a compact ear, a straight, sturdy “t,” and rounded counters that stay readable at text sizes.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book covers, and long-form display passages where a refined, classical voice is desired. It also works effectively for invitations, certificates, boutique branding, and packaging that benefits from a handcrafted, heritage-leaning impression.
The overall tone is formal yet personable—classic and bookish with a gentle, crafted feel rather than strict mechanical precision. It reads as elegant and slightly old-world, suitable for conveying tradition, care, and narrative warmth.
The design appears intended to capture the elegance of traditional calligraphy in an unconnected, readable serif style, balancing formal contrast and tapered terminals with enough human variation to feel drawn rather than engineered.
Capitals have a stately presence with modest flourish (notably in curved letters like C, G, Q, and S), while the numerals keep the same pen-driven contrast and tapering, giving figures a decorative but coherent texture in running text. Spacing appears comfortable and the texture is moderately animated, so words feel organic rather than perfectly uniform.
