A calligraphic serif with wedge-like, triangular serifs and gently bracketed joins that give the strokes a carved-yet-handmade feel. Curves are full and slightly irregular in a controlled way, with moderate stroke modulation and soft, tapered terminals. Proportions are traditional, with round counters and a steady baseline, while subtle asymmetries and angled cuts keep the texture lively in both upper- and lowercase. Numerals and capitals carry the same chiseled, pen-informed logic, producing a cohesive, rhythmic color in text.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text settings where a traditional, crafted voice is desired—such as headlines, book covers, posters, editorial pull quotes, and packaging. It can also work for invitations or certificates when a formal but friendly serif is needed.
The font conveys a classic, storybook warmth—formal enough to feel traditional, but with a personable, hand-touched character. Its angled terminals and wedge serifs add an old-world, editorial tone that reads as crafted rather than mechanical.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with calligraphic, hand-influenced detailing, creating a typeface that feels classic and readable while preserving a distinctive, crafted texture.
In running text the face creates an energetic texture, with pronounced shapes and occasional sharp notches that help letters separate without feeling rigid. The italicless, upright stance and sturdy serifs make it feel confident at display sizes while still maintaining a readable, patterned flow in short passages.
