A traditional serif with softly bracketed serifs, rounded terminals, and gently irregular stroke modulation that gives an inked, hand-formed feel. The letterforms lean on compact, sturdy proportions with slightly uneven curves and subtly flared ends, creating a lively texture rather than a rigid, mechanical rhythm. Capitals are stately but not severe, while the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, open counters, and modest extenders that keep the overall color approachable.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books or editorial layouts where a classic voice with extra character is desired. It also fits packaging, café/market branding, and display applications that benefit from a warm, slightly vintage serif presence.
The tone is warm and literary, with a storybook or old-world flavor that feels human and slightly rustic. Its soft details and mild irregularity read as friendly and familiar, suggesting print tradition without looking overly formal.
The design appears intended to evoke a conventional text serif while introducing gentle, calligraphic irregularities for personality and warmth. It balances readability with a distinctive, human touch that stands out in headlines and remains comfortable in paragraphs.
The numerals share the same rounded, softly tapered detailing, helping headings and small callouts feel cohesive with body text. Overall spacing appears comfortable, producing an even paragraph color while preserving a distinctive, handcrafted surface.
