A delicate serifed design with calligraphic construction and gently modulated strokes. Serifs are small and often flared or bracketed, with tapered terminals that give many strokes a drawn, pen-like finish. Proportions are fairly narrow with a compact x-height, while capitals stand tall and airy; spacing and rhythm feel measured rather than mechanical. Curves are smooth and slightly organic, and several glyphs show subtle asymmetry and flare that reinforce a hand-rendered feel.
Well suited to book and editorial settings where a graceful, traditional voice is desired, especially for headings, pull quotes, and short passages. It can also support invitations, programs, and boutique branding where a formal yet human tone helps convey refinement.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a quiet formality reminiscent of classic book typography and refined correspondence. Its restrained flourishes add a slightly poetic, old-world character without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif readability with a subtle hand-drawn sensibility, offering a polished voice that feels crafted rather than purely typographic. Its restrained contrast and tapered terminals aim to provide elegance while maintaining a calm, consistent text color.
Distinctive details include a swash-like tail on the capital Q, a gently curved J, and soft, rounded bowls in letters like a, e, and g that keep the texture light and open. Numerals share the same calligraphic modulation, with slender stems and curved joins that match the alphabetic rhythm.
