This typeface presents as a serifed, calligraphic roman with subtly flared, bracketed terminals and a distinctly hand-shaped rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth, ink-like swelling into joins, and counters stay generously open for a comfortable text color. The silhouettes lean slightly organic rather than geometric: curves are softly rounded, stems are steady, and terminals often finish with a gentle teardrop or wedge-like flick. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly wide in presence, while lowercase letters maintain an even, readable cadence with compact, well-contained bowls and clear apertures.
It works well for book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice and comfortable readability are desired. The distinctive calligraphic finishing also suits literary titles, formal announcements, invitations, and brand identities that want a crafted, heritage-leaning feel.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a quiet sense of craft that evokes pen-formed lettering rather than purely mechanical construction. It reads as warm and dignified, suitable for settings that want classical authority without feeling rigid or overly sharp.
The design appears intended to merge text-friendly roman structure with calligraphic influence—adding hand-formed terminals and moderated contrast to create a personable, classic serif for refined reading and display use.
Figures follow the same softened, calligraphic logic as the letters, with rounded transitions and calm proportions that blend naturally into text. The font’s consistent terminal treatment and gentle modulation help it hold together across longer passages while still showing a human touch.
