A gently calligraphic serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and an organic, hand-touched stroke flow. The outlines show subtle irregularities and softened terminals, giving the forms a printed, slightly weathered character rather than a crisp, machined finish. Proportions lean traditional: compact lowercase with relatively tall ascenders and descenders, open counters, and a steady, readable rhythm. Capitals are poised and rounded, with moderate modulation and understated detailing; numerals appear old-style with varying heights and lively curves.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional, human serif texture is desired. It can also serve heritage-leaning branding, packaging, or signage when a classic printed feel and a gentle handcrafted nuance are beneficial.
The overall tone feels classical and bookish, with a warm, human presence that suggests ink on paper. Its slight roughness and calligraphic movement add a historic, artisanal flavor, lending text a dignified but approachable voice rather than a purely formal one.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional old-style typography with visible calligraphic roots, prioritizing comfortable reading texture and an understated, timeworn charm. It balances conventional proportions with a lightly irregular finish to keep the page color warm and alive.
Diagonal strokes and joins carry a subtle nib-like influence, and curves often finish with tapered, softened ends that keep the texture lively in longer passages. The design maintains consistency across uppercase and lowercase while preserving enough irregularity to read as deliberately hand-influenced.
