A gently calligraphic serif style with tapered strokes and a subtle pen-drawn modulation. Forms are slightly irregular in a controlled way, with soft curves, occasional wedge-like terminals, and small flicks that suggest a flexible nib or brush. Uppercase letters are expressive and slightly narrow with open counters, while lowercase maintains a readable, rounded rhythm with modest ascenders and descenders; overall spacing feels airy and text color stays light and even.
Well suited to book covers, chapter titles, pull quotes, and editorial headlines where a handcrafted elegance is desired. It can also support invitations, boutique branding, and packaging that benefits from a personal, calligraphic voice; for best results, use at display sizes or comfortable text sizes with generous leading.
The font conveys a refined, literary warmth—more inviting than formal, with an artisanal, hand-rendered charm. Its lively stroke endings and rhythmic curves give it a tasteful, storybook tone that feels personal without becoming overly casual.
Likely designed to mimic a neat, practiced hand with calligraphic influence—capturing the nuance of pen pressure and tapered endings while preserving clear letterforms for readable setting. The emphasis appears to be on expressive, cultured personality rather than strict geometric regularity.
Several glyphs show distinctive, characterful construction (notably the angular diagonals and the gently curved bowls), and the numerals follow the same tapered, handwritten logic for visual consistency. The overall impression is cohesive, with enough irregularity to feel handmade while remaining stable in continuous reading.
