A calligraphic roman with subtly uneven, hand-drawn modulation and gently flared, wedge-like terminals. Strokes show medium contrast with soft tapers and occasional brushy swelling, giving forms an organic rhythm without becoming cursive. Serifs are implied rather than sharply constructed, often appearing as angled flicks or small brackets, and curves are generously rounded. Proportions lean traditional with a relatively short x-height, moderate ascenders and descenders, and slightly variable character widths that add a natural, written texture in text.
Well-suited to book covers, chapter titles, pull quotes, and editorial display where a classic, hand-rendered voice is desired. It also fits invitations, certificates, boutique branding, and poster headlines that benefit from an old-world calligraphic texture. For best results, use at display sizes or with comfortable tracking in text settings to let the lively terminals and modulation breathe.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a storybook warmth and a lightly medieval or Renaissance flavor. Its irregularities read as intentional and personable, suggesting hand-rendered headings and page-like composition rather than mechanical typesetting. The font balances elegance with a friendly, approachable charm.
Likely designed to evoke formal hand-lettering translated into a readable roman, combining traditional proportions with pen-shaped terminals and subtle stroke variation. The intent appears to be a versatile, classic display face that brings warmth and craft to titles while remaining legible in short passages.
Capitals present strong calligraphic gestures—especially in rounded forms and diagonals—while lowercase maintains consistent texture and clear counters. Numerals follow the same pen-driven logic, mixing round bowls with angled terminals for a cohesive set.
