A formal, calligraphy-informed roman with pronounced stroke contrast and gently flared, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a broad-pen feel with tapered joins, soft swelling on curves, and subtly asymmetric terminals that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. Proportions are slightly variable from letter to letter, with rounded bowls, open apertures, and a flowing baseline rhythm that reads as carefully hand-drawn. Numerals follow the same contrast and curvature, with decorative entry/exit strokes that harmonize with the caps and lowercase.
Well-suited to display and short-to-medium text where an expressive, classic voice is desired—such as book covers and chapter titles, editorial headlines, boutique branding, packaging, and invitation or event materials. It can also work for pull quotes or opening paragraphs when the goal is a warm, crafted texture.
The overall tone is classic and literary with a touch of whimsy—refined enough for traditional contexts, but animated by hand-crafted irregularities. It evokes storybook typography, vintage print ephemera, and expressive editorial lettering without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with calligraphic movement, delivering a polished, print-classic impression while retaining the spontaneity and charm of hand-shaped forms.
Capitals have a sculpted, display-like presence, while the lowercase maintains readable forms and a steady color in text. The contrast and terminal shaping create crisp silhouettes at larger sizes, and the slight individuality in each glyph adds charm and personality.
