A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, high-contrast strokes, and a subtly calligraphic, slightly organic finish. Curves show gentle swelling and tapering, while terminals and serifs have rounded transitions rather than sharp, rigid joins. Proportions feel moderately wide with a steady rhythm, and the spacing reads comfortably open in text. Numerals and lowercase maintain a traditional, book-type texture, with clear counters and a balanced color across lines.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its contrast and bracketed serifs produce a refined text texture. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional materials that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed books, formal documents, and editorial tradition. Its crisp contrast and familiar proportions give it an authoritative, composed voice that feels established rather than trendy.
The design appears intended as a classic, readable text serif with a touch of calligraphic personality, aiming for familiar printed-book credibility while retaining a slightly handcrafted warmth.
Details such as the angled joins, softly shaped serifs, and slightly irregular, ink-like edges lend warmth without tipping into display ornament. The texture remains consistent from caps to lowercase, supporting continuous reading while still offering enough character for headings.
