A sturdy old-style serif with bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and a slightly calligraphic flow. The proportions feel traditional, with relatively small lowercase bodies and prominent ascenders, and rounded bowls that keep the texture even in paragraph settings. Terminals are mostly softened rather than sharp, while select characters add liveliness—most notably the sweeping tail on the capital Q and the angled, slightly flared joins in letters like a, e, and s. Numerals follow the same serifed, bookish construction with clear, open counters and moderate stroke modulation.
It is well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine text where a traditional serif texture is desired. The distinctive capitals and lively details also make it effective for display roles such as cultural branding, titles, and formal collateral when a classic tone is needed without feeling overly rigid.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting established publishing and academic contexts rather than trendy minimalism. Its warm, human rhythm and slightly irregular, hand-influenced details give it a personable, traditional voice suitable for long-form reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, traditional serif for extended text, while preserving humanist warmth through modest contrast, bracketed serifs, and calligraphic shaping. It balances formal structure with a few expressive gestures to keep large sizes engaging and paragraph text comfortable.
In text, the font produces a confident, dark-but-readable color with clear word shapes and stable verticals. Capitals are strong and formal, while the lowercase introduces more movement through subtly varied curves and terminals, helping avoid a rigid, mechanical feel.
