A serifed, calligraphic text face with a narrow overall fit and gently modulated stroke contrast. Strokes show subtle tapering and soft, bracketed serifs rather than sharp slabs, giving terminals a drawn, pen-like finish. Curves are smooth and slightly organic, with a consistent rhythm and modest extenders; the lowercase shows traditional, texty construction and open counters that keep paragraphs clear at reading sizes. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and lively contours that match the letterforms.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also fits formal applications like invitations and program materials, and can lend heritage character to identity work when used in titles or short statements.
The font conveys a formal, bookish tone with a quiet elegance. Its restrained calligraphic flavor and classic proportions suggest editorial polish and a traditional, cultivated voice rather than a modern or technical one.
The design appears intended to blend readable text typography with a measured calligraphic influence—favoring traditional serif structures, subtle contrast, and tapered detailing to evoke a classic, literary feel in both display lines and paragraph settings.
In continuous text the face maintains an even color with a gently animated texture from the tapered serifs and stroke modulation. The narrow set and tallish capitals can make headings feel stately, while the oldstyle figures add a distinctly traditional accent in running text.
