A lively text face with gently flared terminals and subtle bracket-like joins that give strokes a slightly chiseled, pen-informed feel. Curves are full and round, while straight strokes often taper as they meet terminals, creating an engraved rhythm rather than purely geometric construction. Uppercase forms feel steady and bookish, and the lowercase shows a mild diagonal stress with compact counters and carefully shaped apertures. Numerals follow the same organic modulation, with smooth transitions and tapered ends that keep the texture consistent in running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts where a traditional, comfortable texture is desirable. It also works for cultural branding, packaging, and headlines that benefit from a classic voice with understated character, especially at text-to-display sizes where the flared terminals remain visible.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a warm, human presence that reads as crafted rather than mechanical. Its soft modulation and flared endings suggest classic editorial typography and lend a slightly storybook, old-world character without becoming ornate.
Likely designed to bridge readability and personality: a straightforward text structure enlivened by calligraphic modulation and flared terminals. The intent appears to be an approachable, timeless face that feels at home in print-like contexts while remaining distinctive in display settings.
In text, the face produces an even gray with small, expressive details—especially in diagonals and curved joins—that add movement. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright, relying on stroke modulation and terminals for personality rather than slant or decoration.
