A calligraphic serif with softly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently rounded terminals that feel inked rather than mechanical. Strokes show moderate, hand-led modulation with slightly irregular rhythm, giving the letterforms a lively texture without losing overall consistency. Proportions lean classical: capitals are broad and stable, lowercase has a rounded, oldstyle construction, and spacing reads comfortable in text. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and curving forms that match the flowing serif treatment.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif with human character is desired. It also works nicely for literary titling, event materials such as invitations, and premium packaging that benefits from an artisanal, classic tone.
The face conveys a traditional, bookish tone with a personable, handwritten warmth. Its subtle irregularities and soft curves suggest craft and narrative voice rather than strict formality, making it feel inviting and timeless.
The font appears designed to evoke a classic serif tradition through a pen-influenced, calligraphic construction—balancing readability with visible hand-made nuance. The inclusion of oldstyle-style numerals and consistent serif shaping suggests an intention to feel at home in narrative and editorial typography while still offering warmth and personality.
The design maintains a coherent pen-informed logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, with a slightly bouncing baseline and varied stroke endings that add charm at larger sizes. Round letters stay open and clear, while diagonals and joins retain a hand-drawn softness that keeps the texture organic.
