A readable serif with moderate stroke contrast and softly bracketed serifs, combining traditional proportions with a noticeably uneven, right-leaning stance. Strokes show gentle tapering and slightly irregular angles, creating a subtly hand-set, press-like texture rather than a rigidly geometric rhythm. The capitals feel sturdy and formal, while the lowercase has a more animated flow, with rounded bowls and slightly springy joins that give lines of text a varied, lively color.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where a traditional serif is desired with a bit more personality. It can also work effectively for literary branding, cultural materials, and invitations that benefit from a classic voice with a gently unconventional stance.
The overall tone is classic and literary, but with an offbeat, personable slant that keeps it from feeling strictly academic. It suggests a vintage printed voice—confident and familiar—while the irregular lean adds warmth and a hint of eccentricity.
The design appears intended to deliver familiar text-serif readability while introducing an expressive, slightly irregular slant to differentiate it from more neutral classics. It balances conventional serif cues with a looser, more human rhythm for character in continuous text.
In paragraph settings the rightward tilt and varied letterfit create a dynamic baseline rhythm, especially in mixed-case text. Numerals and uppercase forms maintain a traditional, bookish character, helping the font stay credible for longer reading while still feeling distinctive.
