A lively old-style serif with calligraphic construction and gently irregular, ink-like contours. Strokes show moderate contrast with softly swelling curves and tapered terminals, and serifs are bracketed and slightly splayed rather than crisp or slabby. Proportions feel traditional and readable, with open bowls, compact counters, and a slightly animated baseline rhythm that gives the letters a hand-cut or printed texture. Numerals and capitals follow the same warm, slightly rugged modulation, producing a cohesive, historically flavored color in text.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a warm, traditional serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for literary headlines, museum or heritage branding, and packaging that benefits from a handcrafted, print-inspired feel.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a tactile, human touch that suggests printed pages, storytelling, and heritage craft. Its subtle roughness and calligraphic swing add personality without pushing into novelty, giving it a friendly, timeworn authority.
The design appears intended to capture the warmth of historical old-style letterforms with visible calligraphic influence, aiming for comfortable readability paired with a subtly artisanal texture for expressive, traditional typography.
In continuous reading the texture is pleasantly varied, with small irregularities at joins and terminals that keep large paragraphs from feeling sterile. The punctuation and shapes maintain a consistent weight and presence, supporting long-form composition while still reading as characterful.
