A serifed, calligraphic text face with visibly hand-driven stroke modulation and gently tapered, flared terminals. The letterforms show bracketed serifs, soft curves, and slightly irregular widths that create a lively rhythm without sacrificing structure. Capitals are broad and dignified with clear classical proportions, while the lowercase features rounded bowls, modest ascenders, and readable counters; the overall texture is even but not mechanical. Numerals read as oldstyle figures with varied heights and organic shapes that blend naturally into running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif with a human touch is desired. It also fits invitations, cultural programs, and boutique branding that benefit from a crafted, classical impression while remaining readable at text sizes.
The font conveys a classical, bookish tone with a warm, human presence. Its subtle irregularities and calligraphic contrast suggest tradition and craft, giving text an editorial, literary feel rather than a purely formal or corporate one.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with a hand-rendered, calligraphic sensibility, prioritizing readable texture and a warm, artisanal voice over strict geometric uniformity.
Diagonal strokes often narrow toward terminals, and joins show a pen-like logic that keeps curves soft and transitions smooth. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates an upright style optimized for continuous reading with comfortable spacing and a slightly animated baseline color.
