A calligraphic serif with softly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated strokes that suggest a broad-nib influence. Curves are full and slightly organic, with mild irregularities that keep the rhythm human rather than mechanical. Capitals are stately and rounded with subtly flared strokes, while lowercase forms stay open and readable, with teardrop/ball-like terminals and a single-storey ‘g’ appearance. Numerals are similarly stylized, with curved entries/exits and a lightly decorative ‘2’ and ‘9’ that echo the pen-made feel.
Works well for headlines and short-to-medium passages where a classic, crafted serif voice is desired—such as editorial layouts, book covers, museum or heritage branding, and formal event materials. It also suits premium packaging and labels that benefit from a traditional, humanist tone.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a touch of ceremony and handcrafted warmth. It reads as refined rather than casual, evoking classic print, invitations, and historical or academic settings without becoming overly ornate.
Likely designed to capture the look of formal pen lettering translated into a sturdy serif for contemporary typesetting—balancing calligraphic nuance with consistent readability across both display text and comfortable paragraph settings.
Spacing and color feel even at text sizes, with smooth transitions between thick and thin that maintain clarity in paragraphs. The italic-like energy comes from stroke shaping and terminals rather than true slant, giving lines a gentle, flowing cadence.
