A calligraphic serif with softly modeled, brush-like strokes and gently bracketed serifs. The forms show moderate stroke modulation and a slightly variable, hand-drawn pressure pattern, with rounded terminals and occasional tapered ends. Curves are full and slightly irregular in a controlled way, giving the letters a lively rhythm; counters remain open and readable. Proportions feel traditional with a steady vertical stance, while small idiosyncrasies in joins and cross-strokes keep the texture organic rather than mechanical.
Well-suited to book and chapter titles, editorial pull quotes, and literary or artisanal branding where a human, traditional voice is desired. It can also work for packaging, posters, and invitations that benefit from a crafted serif texture and a touch of classic charm.
The overall tone is warm and literary, evoking classic book typography interpreted through a hand-rendered lens. It feels personable and slightly whimsical without becoming overly decorative, making text appear crafted and inviting.
Likely designed to merge the familiarity of old-style serif letterforms with the warmth of hand-drawn calligraphy, producing a readable text voice that still shows the maker’s hand. The intent appears focused on conveying tradition and personality through subtle stroke modulation and gently expressive details.
Uppercase letters have a dignified, old-style presence with subtle flourish, while the lowercase maintains a consistent calligraphic flow and soft, rounded finishing. Numerals match the serifed, inked character and sit comfortably alongside text, supporting cohesive typographic color in mixed content.
