This typeface presents as an oldstyle, calligraphic serif with softly bracketed serifs and gently flared stroke terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast with clear thick–thin modulation and a slightly pen-influenced rhythm rather than purely mechanical construction. Curves are generous and open, with a calm, even color in text; widths vary subtly across letters, giving the line a natural, drawn cadence. The lowercase includes a single-storey “a” and “g,” a modestly arched “t,” and rounded joins that keep forms friendly while remaining controlled and consistent.
It performs well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The calligraphic inflection and tidy serifs also suit literary titles, heritage-leaning branding, and formal pieces such as invitations or certificates where warmth and polish are both important.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional book typography with a human touch. It feels formal without being stiff, combining refinement with a warm, slightly handcrafted presence that reads as editorial and cultured.
The design appears intended to translate broad-nib or pen-derived calligraphy into a practical serif for contemporary composition. Its controlled contrast, bracketed serifs, and open counters aim to balance elegance with readability, creating a dependable text face with a distinctly human, crafted character.
Capitals are stately and relatively narrow with crisp, tapered terminals, while round letters like O and Q appear smooth and balanced, with the Q’s tail kept restrained. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, mixing strong verticals with rounded bowls and curved endings for a cohesive texture in running text.
