A serifed, calligraphic text face with gently bracketed serifs and a steady, upright stance. Strokes show a subtle broad‑nib influence with modest modulation, giving curves and joins a slightly handwritten rhythm without becoming loose or cursive. Capitals are tall and dignified with clean, open counters, while the lowercase maintains compact, readable forms and relatively short extenders. Overall spacing and proportions feel measured and even, producing a smooth line of text with a traditional, book-oriented texture.
It performs well in longer passages such as book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture supports comfortable reading. The refined capitals also suit formal materials like invitations, programs, certificates, and institutional communications that benefit from a composed, classic voice.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and slightly ceremonial—while retaining a quiet human touch. It feels suited to contexts where tradition and clarity matter more than stark modernity, suggesting seriousness, education, and cultural refinement.
The design appears intended to bridge formal calligraphic heritage with practical text typography, offering a composed serif structure animated by subtle hand-drawn nuance. It prioritizes readability and a cultivated tone over overt ornamentation.
Round forms like O and Q are generous and stable, and several letters feature gently flared terminals that reinforce the calligraphic character. Numerals follow the same restrained, text-friendly style, avoiding exaggerated decoration and keeping shapes straightforward for continuous reading.
