A serifed, calligraphic text face with softly modulated strokes and gently bracketed serifs that taper into pointed terminals. Curves are full and slightly teardrop-shaped, while joins show a controlled pen-like swelling that gives the letterforms an organic rhythm without becoming erratic. Proportions skew classical, with modest counters and a noticeably small x-height that makes ascenders and capitals feel prominent. Several glyphs introduce restrained flourishes—most evident in the Q tail, the diagonal leg of R, and the curving descenders—adding a subtle decorative cadence to running text.
This font is well suited to book interiors, editorial features, and literary packaging where a classic, humanist texture is desirable. It also fits formal invitations, programs, and certificates, especially when set at comfortable reading sizes where the delicate terminals and modest contrast can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels formal and literary, suggesting old-world craftsmanship and a handwritten-influenced elegance. Its measured flourishes and traditional proportions convey a refined, slightly ceremonial voice suited to cultured, narrative settings rather than utilitarian UI work.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with calligraphic pen cues—adding warmth and tradition while maintaining clear, unconnected letterforms for continuous reading. Flourishes are used sparingly to elevate tone and personality without overpowering the text color.
The lowercase shows distinct, individualized forms (notably g, y, and j) that contribute to a lively texture in paragraphs. Numerals appear oldstyle-like in behavior with varying heights and a more text-oriented stance, aligning well with the face’s bookish rhythm.
