This serif face shows a lively, humanist skeleton with gently modulated strokes and softly bracketed wedge-like serifs. Curves are round and slightly open, with a subtly calligraphic, hand-informed rhythm rather than rigid geometry. Terminals often taper and flare, giving strokes a carved or inked quality, while counters stay generous enough for comfortable reading. The lowercase is compact with a relatively low x-height, and the overall spacing and letterfit feel even, producing a steady texture in paragraphs.
It suits long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. The distinctive capitals and sturdy serifs also make it effective for chapter openers, pull quotes, and heritage-leaning branding on labels or packaging.
The tone is traditional and literary, with a warm, slightly rustic character that suggests ink on paper rather than polished modernity. It reads as approachable and familiar, carrying a subtle old-world charm suited to narrative and heritage contexts.
The design appears intended to echo old-style serif traditions with visible calligraphic influence, balancing readability with a touch of handcrafted character. It aims for an authentic, printed-page feel that remains versatile across text and display sizes.
Details like the sweeping Q tail, varied serif shapes, and slightly irregular stroke endings add personality without becoming decorative. Numerals and capitals keep the same handcrafted energy, supporting headings as well as continuous text.
