A stylized serifed hand with subtly uneven, calligraphy-like stroke endings and tapered terminals. The forms are narrow and vertically oriented, with a lively rhythm created by slight irregularities, occasional flared strokes, and gentle curve tension in bowls and joints. Serifs read as wedge-like or softly chiseled rather than bracketed, and the overall color is moderately dark with clear thick–thin modulation that stays consistent across the set. Uppercase letters feel taller and more formal, while the lowercase is compact with a noticeably short x-height and slightly varied widths that add a hand-rendered texture.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium reading contexts where its calligraphic texture can be appreciated—book covers, chapter heads, editorial headings, posters, event materials, and invitations. It can also work for pull quotes or packaging copy when set with comfortable tracking and generous line spacing.
The font projects a classic, storybook formality—polished enough for titles, but with enough hand-drawn character to feel personable and a bit whimsical. Its tapered strokes and crisp, carved-looking terminals evoke traditional pen work and lend an old-world, literary tone.
The design appears intended to translate formal calligraphic lettering into a consistent, font-ready system: upright, narrow proportions paired with controlled contrast and chiseled, tapered terminals to create a refined but human, handcrafted presence.
In text, the face maintains good separation between characters while preserving an organic, slightly irregular cadence. Numerals and capitals carry the same tapered, serifed logic, helping headlines and short passages feel cohesive and intentional rather than purely decorative.
