A decorative serif with calligraphic roots, featuring tapered strokes, softly bracketed wedge-like serifs, and subtly flared terminals. The letterforms show a gentle, organic modulation rather than rigid geometry, with slightly uneven, hand-cut energy in curves and joins. Proportions lean tall with relatively compact bowls and a narrow-ish rhythm, while counters stay open enough for comfortable reading. Uppercase forms feel sculpted and classic, and the lowercase maintains a lively texture through angled strokes, curled terminals, and distinctive shapes in letters like a, g, y, and w.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where a classic serif voice with extra personality is desirable. It can also work effectively in branding and packaging that aims for craft, tradition, or boutique character, and in display sizes for chapter heads or pull quotes where its distinctive terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is bookish and traditional, but with a playful, slightly eccentric edge that keeps it from feeling purely formal. It suggests storytelling, editorial warmth, and a hint of historical or fantasy flavor without becoming overtly gothic. The texture across a line of text feels animated and human, giving paragraphs character as well as clarity.
The design appears intended to blend readable text-face structure with decorative, hand-influenced details—creating a serif that feels historically grounded yet noticeably individual. Its goal seems to be adding warmth and narrative character while remaining usable for continuous reading.
Figures are old-style in spirit, with varied widths and curved strokes that match the text face’s organic modulation. The italic is not shown, but the roman already carries a noticeable calligraphic slant in internal stress and terminal shaping, producing a distinctive color on the page.
