This typeface presents a serifed, calligraphic construction with softly bracketed joins and subtly flared, tapered stroke endings. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin interplay and a gently handwritten rhythm, with curves that feel slightly irregular in a controlled, intentional way. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with rounded bowls, generous internal counters, and a generally upright stance; the lowercase forms read comfortably in continuous text while keeping a distinctive, drawn character.
It works well for editorial typography, book or long-form reading where a human touch is desired, and for pull quotes or headings that benefit from a distinctive serif voice. The crafted texture also suits branding and packaging applications that aim for heritage, artisanal, or literary associations.
The overall tone feels classic and bookish, with an old-world charm that suggests pen-made lettering translated into a consistent text face. Its warm, crafted texture adds personality without becoming overly decorative, giving it a friendly yet formal presence.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of formal, pen-influenced lettering while maintaining the consistency and structure needed for readable text. Its moderate contrast and softened serif modeling prioritize warmth and character over stark precision.
Uppercase letters show pronounced, sculpted serifs and distinctive curvature that can add character in titles and short lines. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with rounded shapes and tapered terminals that keep the set visually cohesive.
