A formal calligraphic serif with sharp, flared terminals and pronounced stroke modulation. Stems transition from thick verticals to fine hairlines, and many joins are softened with subtle bracketing that keeps the texture lively rather than rigid. Capitals are slightly narrow with sculpted curves and occasional sweeping strokes, while the lowercase has a notably small x-height and a crisp, pointed rhythm. Counters are compact and the overall spacing feels varied and hand-shaped, giving lines a textured, inked cadence in running text.
Best used for display settings such as book covers, chapter heads, editorial headlines, posters, and event materials where its sharp contrast and flourished details can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, especially when a classic, handcrafted voice is desired.
The tone is refined and literary, with a faint medieval or manuscript flavor that reads as handcrafted rather than mechanical. Its sharp terminals and sweeping curves add drama and ceremony, making it feel suited to historical, fantastical, or editorial moods while remaining legible.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional pen-written forms in a controlled, typographic way, combining formal serif structure with expressive calligraphic finishing. It aims for a historic, cultured impression with enough distinctive movement to stand out in display typography.
Several letters show distinctive calligraphic gestures—especially in the diagonals and tails—creating a slightly irregular, animated color across words. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and pointed endings that match the letterforms.
