This typeface is a serif with bracketed, slightly tapered serifs and a distinctly calligraphic stroke modulation. Curves show a gentle diagonal stress, with rounded forms (O, o) that feel drawn rather than mechanically constructed. Capitals are proportioned with moderate width and open counters, while the lowercase has compact proportions, a relatively small x-height, and lively details in terminals and joins. The overall rhythm is even but not rigid, with subtle irregularities that give it an organic, text-friendly texture.
It suits long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works well for literary branding, cultural materials, and formal stationery where a refined but approachable voice is important.
The font conveys a classical, literary tone with a warm, human touch. Its calligraphic influence adds a quiet elegance that feels traditional and trustworthy rather than decorative or flashy.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, old-style reading experience with visible calligraphic heritage—balancing refinement with an organic, human rhythm that keeps paragraphs comfortable and inviting.
Distinctive cues include a swash-like tail on the capital Q, an angled crossbar on e, and gently curved terminals that soften the silhouette. Numerals share the same old-style flavor, with varied widths and slightly calligraphic curves that blend well with text.
