A serifed, calligraphic text face with slender stems and pronounced stroke modulation that suggests a broad-nib or pointed-pen influence. Terminals often taper into subtle hooks and flares, and many joins feel slightly softened, giving the outlines an organic, hand-drawn regularity rather than strict geometric construction. Capitals are relatively tall and narrow with sharp apexes and crisp inner counters, while lowercase forms keep a compact body with clear, readable bowls and angled entry/exit strokes. Numerals are delicate and slightly stylized, with curved spines and varied widths that maintain an even typographic color despite the strong contrast.
Works well for editorial design, literary covers, and short-to-medium reading passages where a classic, expressive texture is desired. It also suits invitations, programs, and boutique branding that benefits from a formal, handcrafted voice without connecting script.
The overall tone is cultured and bookish, with a quiet sense of ceremony. Its restrained flourishes and tapered details add a hint of personality—more poetic than corporate—evoking classic editorial typography and formal correspondence.
Designed to capture the grace of pen-made lettering in a readable serif form, balancing refined contrast with subtle, humanist irregularities. The intent appears to be an expressive text face that feels traditional and cultivated while remaining clear in paragraph settings.
The rhythm is lively: stroke endings and slight asymmetries prevent the texture from feeling mechanical, especially in letters like a, e, g, and y. In continuous text it holds together cleanly, but the crisp contrast and fine hairlines make it feel best suited to comfortable sizes rather than very small reproduction.
