A calligraphic serif with a distinctly hand-rendered rhythm, showing subtly irregular stroke flow and gently modulated contrast. Serifs are bracketed and rounded rather than razor-sharp, and many joins and terminals finish with soft, brush-like tapering. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow with classical proportions, while the lowercase keeps a readable, bookish structure with a single-storey “g,” a slightly angled “e” with an open eye, and a tall, looped “f.” Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and curved, calligraphic entry/exit strokes that reinforce an organic texture in text.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and literary packaging where a classic, human touch is desired. It can also support invitations, programs, certificates, and identity work that benefits from formal warmth and a traditional voice, especially at text and display sizes where its tapered details remain visible.
The overall tone feels traditional and cultivated, like formal handwriting interpreted for print. It conveys a sense of heritage and ceremony while staying approachable, thanks to its rounded serifs and lively stroke endings.
Likely designed to capture the feel of formal pen-written lettering in a consistent, typeset system—balancing classical serif structure with soft, calligraphic motion for readable, dignified text.
Spacing and letterfit appear comfortable for continuous reading, with a moderate color on the page and a gently animated baseline feel. The shapes favor rounded bowls and tapered diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y), producing a subtle flourish without becoming overly ornate.
