This typeface presents a calligraphic serif structure with tapered strokes and subtle, pen-like modulation. Serifs often resolve into pointed, wedge-shaped terminals, giving strokes a crisp entry and exit rather than blunt endings. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow with clean curves (notably in C, O, and G), while the lowercase shows more handwritten nuance, including a double-storey g and a lively, slightly asymmetric s. Overall spacing and rhythm are even, but individual letters retain small irregularities and tapering that keep the texture organic.
It suits book and editorial typography where a traditional, slightly calligraphic color is desired, especially for headings, pull quotes, and elegant short passages. The refined serif detailing also fits formal printed materials such as invitations, certificates, and heritage-leaning branding, where a classic voice is beneficial.
The tone is classical and literary, suggesting an educated, traditional voice with a gentle human touch. It reads as formal without feeling rigid, conveying refinement and a hint of historical or manuscript influence.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with the character of formal hand lettering, using tapered strokes and wedge terminals to create a dignified yet human page texture. It aims to feel established and cultured while remaining smooth and legible in continuous reading.
Numerals follow the same tapered, wedge-terminal logic, maintaining a consistent texture alongside text. Descenders such as in g, j, p, and q are clear and slightly calligraphic, helping long-form text keep a varied, lively silhouette.
