A serif text face with distinctly bracketed, slightly flared serifs and a lively, calligraphic stroke modulation. Curves show a gentle diagonal stress, and terminals often finish with soft beaks or tapered ends that keep the rhythm active without becoming ornate. Proportions are moderately compact with sturdy stems and generous counters, while the numerals follow the same old-style logic, mixing rounded forms with subtle entry/exit strokes for an integrated page color.
Well suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for display typography—chapter openers, pull quotes, and heritage-leaning packaging—where its sharp contrast and bracketed serifs can provide character without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with a warm, human presence that reads as crafted rather than mechanical. Its crisp contrast and energetic serifs add a mildly dramatic, vintage flavor suited to narrative or heritage contexts.
Designed to evoke traditional old-style typography with visible calligraphic influence, aiming for a comfortable text rhythm paired with enough contrast and detail to feel distinctive on the page.
Capitals appear confident and slightly stately, while lowercase forms maintain a readable texture and consistent spacing in paragraphs. The design’s small asymmetries and tapered details give it a hand-informed personality, helping long text avoid looking sterile.
