A calligraphic serif with lively, hand-drawn modulation and softly flared, bracketed serifs. Strokes show gentle swelling and tapering rather than rigid, mechanical contrast, giving the letters an organic rhythm. Uppercase forms are slightly decorative with curved entries and subtle spur-like details, while lowercase maintains readable, open counters and a lightly uneven, pen-formed flow. Numerals follow the same drawn logic, with angled terminals and modest curvature that keeps them cohesive with the text face.
Well-suited to book covers, chapter openers, editorial headlines, and pull quotes where a classic, literary flavor is desired. It can also add a crafted, heritage feel to packaging, menus, certificates, and invitation-style materials, especially at medium to larger sizes where the tapered details and serif shaping read clearly.
The overall tone feels storybook and traditional, balancing formality with a personable, crafted warmth. Its subtle irregularities and tapered strokes suggest a historical or literary voice without becoming overly ornate.
The font appears designed to evoke a traditional, pen-influenced serif voice with a gentle decorative lift—combining readable text structures with hand-rendered character for expressive, formal typography.
The design relies on clear silhouettes and consistent serif behavior, but retains a handwritten spontaneity in curves and joins, especially noticeable in letters like a, g, y, and z. The texture is smooth and controlled, making it suitable for display use while remaining comfortable in short passages.
