A conventional serif with softly bracketed serifs and a lightly calligraphic, pen-drawn flavor. Strokes show moderate contrast with gently tapered terminals, and the outlines have a subtly irregular, inked texture that adds a handmade feel without becoming distressed. Proportions are balanced for text: capitals are stately and slightly narrow, lowercase forms are open and readable, and the spacing and rhythm are even across the sample paragraph. Numerals are old-style in spirit, with varied widths and curved forms that match the serif detailing.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support display use in literary titles, pull quotes, and packaging that benefits from a classic, slightly handcrafted impression.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting traditional printing and editorial typography. The slight roughness and tapered details add warmth and human presence, making it feel approachable rather than strictly formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar text-serif foundation while introducing subtle pen-like modulation and an inked edge to avoid a sterile, purely digital look. The goal seems to be comfortable readability paired with a touch of historical charm.
Round letters (like O/C/Q) emphasize smooth, continuous curves, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) keep crisp entry/exit strokes with small wedges. The italic is not shown; all samples present an upright roman with consistent serif treatment and restrained personality.
