A compact serif with lightly bracketed, subtly flared serifs and a gently modulated stroke that suggests pen-driven construction. Capitals are relatively tall and narrow, with crisp, tapered terminals and a restrained, slightly irregular rhythm that keeps the texture lively. Lowercase forms show small counters and compact proportions, with softly cupped joins and a consistent baseline presence; the numerals follow the same narrow, old-style feel and sit comfortably with the text color.
Works well for novels, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice and compact setting are desirable. It also suits title treatments, pull quotes, and packaging or branding that aims for a traditional, slightly handcrafted tone, particularly when paired with generous leading and margins.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with a warm, human touch rather than a rigid, mechanical finish. Its mild calligraphic cues and slightly idiosyncratic details read as literary and timeworn, suitable for content that wants historical character without heavy ornament.
Likely designed to deliver an approachable old-style reading experience with compact proportions and a subtly calligraphic finish. The intent appears to balance traditional serif conventions with small individualized details to keep the page color engaging over longer passages.
Serif shapes vary subtly by letter, adding personality while maintaining coherence in paragraphs. The texture stays even in running text, but the tighter interior spaces and narrow set give it a denser, more editorial feel than a wide, airy book face.
