A delicately drawn, calligraphy-influenced serif with tapered terminals and gently flared, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a subtle pen-like modulation, with rounded joins and softly swelling curves that keep counters open and airy. Proportions lean slightly narrow with lively, hand-tuned spacing; capitals are graceful and a touch decorative (notably in curved forms like C, G, and Q), while lowercase maintains a readable, text-friendly rhythm. Numerals follow the same flowing logic, with old-style-like curves and light, finishing flicks at terminals.
Works well for editorial display, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and short-to-medium text where a refined, human touch is desired. It’s also well suited to invitations, stationery, boutique branding, and packaging that benefits from graceful letterforms and subtle flourish.
The overall tone feels cultured and storybook-adjacent—more intimate than a strict book face, but still polished and formal. It carries a quiet warmth and a sense of craft, suggesting handwritten elegance rather than mechanical precision.
Likely designed to blend traditional serif structure with a calligraphic, hand-rendered sensibility—prioritizing elegance and warmth while remaining legible in continuous reading. The consistent modulation and tapered finishing strokes suggest an intent to evoke pen-made forms in a clean, contemporary digital font.
Curved letters feature pronounced entry/exit strokes and softened corners that create a gentle, drawn-on-paper impression. The italic-like liveliness is achieved without a slant, relying instead on stroke taper, curved shoulders, and slightly expressive serif shapes for motion.
