A refined old-style serif with bracketed serifs, tapered strokes, and gently modulated contrast that stays lively without feeling rigid. Curves are open and slightly organic, with a subtle handwritten influence visible in the way terminals finish and joins transition. Proportions are comfortable and readable, with moderate counters, a steady rhythm, and slight glyph-to-glyph width variation that keeps text color from becoming overly uniform. Numerals and capitals share the same calm, bookish construction, balancing firm stems with soft curves.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve in print-forward branding, certificates, and invitations that benefit from a classic, cultivated tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional printing and editorial typography. Its warmth and mild irregularity add a human, crafted feeling, making it feel inviting rather than stark or mechanical.
The design appears intended to reinterpret old-style, calligraphically influenced serif conventions for dependable reading, emphasizing warmth, steady rhythm, and a familiar, time-tested texture in continuous text.
In running text the face maintains an even typographic color while preserving plenty of detail in serifs and terminals, giving paragraphs a textured, historically rooted presence. The shapes favor clarity over sharp geometry, with rounded forms and restrained flare that read well at typical text sizes.
