A calligraphically inflected serif with brisk contrast and a slightly uneven, hand-set rhythm. Serifs are small and often wedge-like or lightly flared, with noticeable bracketing and sharp joins that give strokes a crisp, carved feel. Curves are somewhat faceted rather than perfectly round, and terminals frequently end in pointed or angled cuts. Proportions feel compact with lively width variation from glyph to glyph, while the overall texture stays legible and cohesive in text.
Well-suited to book interiors, literary or historical editorial design, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in display sizes for chapter titles, pull quotes, posters, and packaging that benefits from a handcrafted, old-style atmosphere.
The tone is traditional and bookish, with an old-world, slightly rustic character that suggests ink on paper and letterpress-era warmth. Its angular details and faceted curves add a touch of drama, making it feel more expressive than a neutral text face while still reading comfortably.
The design appears intended to evoke classical, humanist letterforms with a visibly hand-shaped edge—balancing readability with distinctive, angular detailing to create a memorable, period-leaning voice for both text and display.
In the sample text, the font produces a dark, energetic color with distinctive shapes that help word forms stand out. The caps have a stately presence (notably the Q and W), while the lowercase shows playful, calligraphic quirks in letters like g, j, and y that reinforce a handcrafted impression.
