A lightly built, upright roman with a mostly monoline stroke and gently rounded terminals. The design uses classical, calligraphic inflections—most noticeable in the capitals—adding small entry curls and occasional looped details without joining strokes. Proportions are open and readable with generous internal space, while a slightly expansive set width and calm rhythm give lines an airy texture. Numerals match the text style with simple, lightly finished forms.
Well suited to book jackets, editorial headlines, pull quotes, and other display settings where a refined, personable voice is useful. It can also support invitations, small-run packaging, and boutique branding, especially when you want a classic look with subtle flourish.
The overall tone feels cultivated and slightly playful, like a formal hand with a hint of ornament. Its restrained flourishes add personality without becoming overly decorative, lending a literary, boutique feel suited to tasteful display use.
Likely intended to provide a readable, text-compatible calligraphic flavor—classic roman construction enhanced with selective swashes, particularly in the uppercase, to add distinction in titles and short phrases.
Capitals carry most of the decorative work, creating a clear hierarchy over the simpler lowercase. Curves are smooth and consistent, and the swash-like touches are used sparingly enough to keep word shapes recognizable in longer lines.
