A formal calligraphic serif with crisp, tapered strokes and pronounced flaring at terminals. Letters show a consistent diagonal stress and a rhythmic alternation between hairline connections and fuller main strokes, with pointed entry/exit strokes that read like pen-made flicks. Serifs are mostly wedge-like and slightly curved rather than blocky, and many forms incorporate subtle swashes (notably in capitals and select lowercase) that add movement without becoming fully connected script. Counters are relatively open, ascenders are prominent, and overall spacing feels intentionally airy, helping the sharp details stay distinct.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium text where its stroke contrast and terminal detailing can be appreciated—book and chapter titles, invitations, editorial headlines, boutique branding, and heritage-leaning packaging. It can work for brief passages in larger sizes, but the fine hairlines and sharp joins are likely to read best with generous size and spacing.
The tone is classic and literary, suggesting tradition and careful craftsmanship. Its sharp terminals and measured flourishes convey ceremony and formality, while the hand-drawn modulation keeps it personable and expressive rather than strictly mechanical.
The design appears intended to emulate a formal pen-written style translated into a consistent typographic system, balancing legibility with ornamental character. It aims to provide an expressive, classical voice for editorial and branding use where a traditional, crafted impression is desired.
Capitals are especially decorative, with distinctive strokes and internal turns that create a heraldic, storybook feel in display settings. Numerals and punctuation match the same pen-like modulation, so mixed text retains a unified texture.
