A calligraphic serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and gently bracketed joins that suggest broad-pen influence. Strokes show moderate contrast with rounded swelling on curves and subtly tapered ends, giving letters an inked, hand-drawn finish. Proportions are moderately wide with a lively, slightly irregular rhythm; bowls are generous, counters stay open, and the lowercase shows a readable, traditional structure with a relatively large x-height feel. Numerals follow the same drawn-with-pen logic, with soft curves and angled finishing strokes that keep the set cohesive.
Well-suited to display and short-to-medium text where a handcrafted, classic voice is desired, such as book titles, editorial pull quotes, packaging, and boutique branding. It can also work for invitations or event materials that need a traditional calligraphic flavor with strong legibility.
The font conveys a warm, old-world charm—more crafted than mechanical—balancing formality with approachability. Its pen-shaped details and gentle quirks give it a storybook and heritage tone without feeling overly ornate or stiff.
The design appears intended to translate broad-pen calligraphy into a versatile serif with enough consistency for text setting, while preserving the natural tapering, flared terminals, and lively cadence of hand-rendered lettering.
Round letters like O/C and the lowercase a/e emphasize smooth, continuous curves, while diagonals and joins (such as in k, v, w, x) carry noticeable pen-angle modulation. The overall texture reads as confident and slightly theatrical, with terminals that add character at display sizes.
