A calligraphic serif with soft, bracketed terminals and gently swelling strokes that read as pen-drawn rather than mechanically rigid. Letterforms lean on rounded bowls and open counters, with distinctive hooked entry strokes and small swash-like curls on many capitals. The rhythm is lively and slightly irregular, with noticeably varied glyph widths and a comfortable, readable lowercase. Numerals are simple and sturdy, matching the rounded, humanist construction of the text.
Well-suited to display and short-to-medium text where a traditional yet personable feel is desired, such as book covers, editorial headlines, invitations, and boutique branding. It can also work for pull quotes and packaging where a slightly decorative serif adds warmth and character.
The overall tone feels classic and literary with a light, playful flourish—evoking vintage signage, storybook titling, and informal elegance. Its decorative caps add charm without becoming overly ornate, keeping the voice approachable and warm.
The design appears intended to blend formal calligraphic cues with practical readability: expressive capitals for emphasis and identity, paired with a more straightforward lowercase for fluent text. The result is a serif that feels hand-crafted and timeless while remaining usable across common display and editorial contexts.
Capitals show the most personality, often featuring curled top strokes and occasional extended or looping terminals, while the lowercase remains comparatively restrained for continuous reading. The texture stays even on the page, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (e.g., I/J/L) aided by the serifed, calligraphic cues.
