A calligraphic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and noticeably modulated strokes that create a lively, slightly irregular rhythm. Curves are generously rounded, while terminals often finish with a subtle flare or hook, giving letters a cut-by-hand feel. The lowercase shows compact proportions with a relatively small x-height and prominent ascenders, and the overall color on the page is somewhat textured due to uneven edges and ink-like bite in joins and counters. Numerals are old-style in feel with varying widths and curving forms that sit comfortably alongside the text.
Well suited to long-form reading contexts such as books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired, especially in print or print-like settings. The textured, inked detailing also works well for literary branding, heritage or artisanal packaging, and display settings like posters or chapter openers where a touch of vintage character is beneficial.
The tone is traditional and literary, with a warm, human presence that reads like ink on paper rather than sterile digital outlines. Its slight roughness and expressive terminals add an antique, craft-driven character suitable for historically flavored or narrative-forward design.
Likely designed to evoke an old-style, humanist reading experience with visible calligraphic influence and a lightly distressed, ink-impression finish. The goal appears to balance traditional text readability with a handcrafted, period-leaning personality.
In text, the face maintains an even baseline and steady cadence while still showing intentionally organic detailing—small notches and softened corners—especially visible in heavier curves and at serif transitions. The capitals feel dignified but not rigid, pairing well with the more animated lowercase forms.
