A narrow, oldstyle-leaning serif with gently flared, bracketed serifs and a subtly calligraphic stroke flow. The contrast is moderate and consistent, with slightly tapered stems and softened terminals that give the outlines a warm, hand-influenced feel. Capitals are compact and stately, while lowercase forms show lively details—looping descenders and open bowls—creating a rhythmic, slightly irregular texture without losing overall polish. Numerals appear traditional and text-friendly, with oldstyle-like proportions that sit comfortably in running copy.
It suits book and long-form editorial settings where a classic, slightly decorative serif can add personality while remaining readable. The narrow proportions help in space-conscious layouts, and the distinctive capitals and numerals make it effective for headlines, packaging, and heritage-leaning branding where a vintage voice is desired.
The face reads as antique and literary, with a faintly whimsical, storybook tone. Its refined serifs and humanist curvature evoke older printing and period ephemera, lending an expressive, cultured character rather than a strictly modern one.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a decorative, period-evocative finish. Its calligraphic shaping and flared serifs aim to provide a recognizable, antique texture that stands out in display while still behaving credibly in text.
The design’s narrow set and pronounced serif shaping create strong vertical emphasis, while the varied widths and gently uneven silhouettes keep the line from feeling mechanical. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a steady color in paragraphs with distinctive, memorable letterforms.
