A serifed, calligraphic text face with gently modulated strokes and a lively, hand-guided rhythm. Serifs are small and often flared or softly bracketed, with tapered terminals that feel drawn rather than mechanically constructed. The letterforms mix rounded bowls with slightly irregular stroke endings, and spacing is moderately open, helping the texture stay readable while retaining a personal, crafted character. Numerals and capitals follow the same restrained flourish, keeping details elegant rather than ornate.
Works well for book and chapter titles, editorial display, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where a crafted, traditional voice is desired. It also suits invitations, certificates, boutique branding, and packaging that benefits from an elegant, hand-touched serif presence.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a warm, human presence that recalls traditional book typography and formal handwriting. It feels refined and slightly whimsical, suitable for conveying heritage, storytelling, or cultured charm without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to blend classic oldstyle serif proportions with calligraphic nuance, offering readability with a distinctive, handwritten-like finish. It aims to provide an approachable formal tone—more personal than a strict text serif, yet disciplined enough for polished typographic settings.
Caps are stately and smooth with subtle calligraphic stress, while lowercase forms show more personality through asymmetric curves and varied terminal shapes. The texture in paragraphs reads as even but not rigid, giving long text a gentle movement and an organic cadence.
