A calligraphic serif with tapered, brush-like stroke modulation and distinctly flared terminals. Letterforms show crisp, triangular and wedge-like serifs, pointed joins, and occasional hairline-like spurs that give the outlines an inked, slightly flicked finish. Curves are round but controlled, while diagonals and verticals often narrow toward ends, producing a lively rhythm and subtly uneven, hand-shaped texture in text. Numerals follow the same chiseled, calligraphic construction, with sharp entry/exit strokes and strong silhouettes.
This style is well suited to display use such as book and chapter titles, editorial headlines, posters, and packaging where an elevated, crafted voice is desired. It can also support invitations or formal announcements, particularly when set with generous tracking and comfortable leading to let the tapered details breathe.
The overall tone feels formal and expressive, blending a classical, manuscript-inspired presence with a slightly theatrical edge. It reads as decorative yet disciplined, suggesting tradition, ceremony, and crafted workmanship rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to translate broad-nib or brush-pen calligraphy into a structured, serifed alphabet that remains readable while retaining expressive stroke endings and a hand-rendered cadence. It aims to provide a classical, premium feel for prominent text without fully connecting letters as a script.
In paragraph settings the font maintains a consistent cadence, but the pointed terminals and tapered joins create noticeable sparkle and directional movement, especially on letters with diagonals and cross-strokes. The texture is darker at curves and thicker stems, with frequent fine flicks that add character and emphasis.
