A warm serif with calligraphic underpinnings and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with gently tapered terminals, and the curves are rounded and open, giving counters a generous, readable feel. Uppercase forms are stable and classical, while the lowercase has a flowing rhythm with slightly varied widths and lively joins. The numerals appear oldstyle, sitting naturally with the lowercase and reinforcing a text-first, bookish texture.
Well-suited to extended reading in books and editorial layouts where a comfortable, classic texture is important. It also fits magazine features, cultural institutions, and refined packaging or identity work that benefits from a traditional serif voice with a friendly, human cadence.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with an approachable warmth rather than a sharp, formal austerity. Its rhythm suggests editorial confidence—polished and familiar—suited to long-form reading and cultivated branding.
Designed to deliver a readable, old-style text experience with a distinctly human, calligraphic feel. The intent appears to balance classical structure with warmth and natural rhythm, making it dependable for paragraphs while still expressive in headings.
The face maintains a consistent baseline and steady color in paragraphs, while subtle irregularities in stroke endings and inner shapes keep it from feeling mechanical. Round letters stay open and clear at text sizes, and the serifs remain refined without becoming delicate.
