A modulated serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show a subtly calligraphic flow, with flared terminals and gently swelling curves that give counters an organic, slightly inked texture. Proportions lean compact with sturdy stems and rounded joins; the overall rhythm is lively rather than rigid, and the figures and capitals carry a strong, steady presence.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where contrast and traditional serif detailing are desired. The robust weight and distinctive modulation also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or branding that aims for a classic, crafted feel.
The tone reads traditional and literary, with a slightly old-style, printed-page sensibility. Its energetic modulation and softly irregular details add warmth and personality, balancing authority with an inviting, human touch.
The design appears intended to evoke conventional text-serif heritage while adding a more hand-influenced, lively stroke modulation for character. It prioritizes a strong page color and recognizable forms, aiming for readable text with enough distinctive detail to stand out in display settings.
Curves are generously rounded and the joins often feel softly pinched, producing a faint “ink-trap” impression in some interior corners. The italic-like movement in several lowercase forms (notably in the bowls and entry/exit strokes) adds texture in running text without pushing the design into a true slanted style.
