A serif typeface with softly bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and an overall rounded, calligraphic finishing. Curves are generous and slightly swelling, with subtly tapered strokes and terminals that feel gently scooped rather than sharp. The capitals are sturdy and open, while the lowercase keeps a smooth rhythm with rounded bowls and a slightly lively baseline feel. Numerals are clear and traditional in proportion, matching the text’s steady color and even texture.

The tone reads warm and established, with a bookish, traditional character that feels approachable rather than formal. Its gentle curves and softened details add a human presence that suggests craft and familiarity, making it well-suited to content that aims to feel trustworthy and readable.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic reading experience with a humanist, calligraphy-informed touch—balancing traditional proportions and moderate contrast with softened serifs and rounded terminals to keep text inviting and comfortable over longer passages.
