A high-contrast old-style serif with gently bracketed serifs and a subtly calligraphic stroke rhythm. Curves are softly modeled and slightly asymmetric, giving bowls and counters an organic, human hand. Terminals tend toward tapered, wedge-like finishes, and the lowercase shows a short x-height with prominent ascenders and descenders that add vertical elegance. Spacing reads comfortable and a touch irregular in a natural way, with varied glyph widths that keep texture lively in running text.
Well-suited to book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where a warm, traditional serif texture is desirable. The characterful capitals and strong contrast also make it effective for chapter openings, pull quotes, and literary or heritage-leaning titles.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a warm, slightly rustic refinement that feels more human than mechanical. It evokes traditional printing and editorial typography, balancing seriousness with a friendly, approachable softness.
The design appears aimed at reviving a traditional, calligraphy-influenced serif voice for comfortable reading while preserving enough distinctive shapes to feel authored and expressive in headlines and titling.
Several capitals feature distinctive, sweeping strokes (notably the Q and W), adding personality for display use without breaking the consistent text color. Numerals follow the same tapered, calligraphic logic and sit comfortably alongside the lowercase in mixed text settings.
