A calligraphic serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and a slightly penned rhythm. Serifs are sharp and often wedge-like, with subtle bracketed transitions that keep the joins fluid rather than mechanical. Capitals feel stately and open, while the lowercase shows narrow apertures and compact counters, reinforced by a relatively small x-height and long, clean ascenders. Curves carry a diagonal stress and tapered terminals, and the overall spacing reads airy and bookish, with letterforms that vary in visual width from character to character for a lively texture.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book jackets, and chapter or section titles where an elegant, classical voice is desired. It can also support refined branding elements—such as labels, certificates, or invitations—especially at medium to large sizes where the tapered terminals and contrast can be appreciated.
The tone is formal and classical, evoking traditional inscriptional and book typography with a hint of handwritten refinement. It feels cultured and literary—more ceremonial than casual—while still maintaining a graceful, human touch.
The design appears intended to translate formal pen-written characteristics into a readable serif, balancing traditional proportions with expressive terminals and high contrast. Its compact lowercase and dignified capitals suggest a focus on cultivated, headline-forward typography rather than purely utilitarian UI text.
Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and descenders, matching the text color and calligraphic contrast of the alphabet. The italic-like liveliness comes from stroke tapering and terminal shapes rather than actual slant, keeping the font upright but expressive.
