A calligraphically informed serif with bracketed serifs, gently flared stroke endings, and noticeable diagonal stress. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with tapered joins and slightly irregular, ink-like terminals that keep the texture lively. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: moderate x-height, open counters, and a slightly varied rhythm across letters that reads organic rather than geometric. Numerals match the text tone with old-style-like modulation and curved, hand-drawn transitions.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a warm, traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely for literary or museum-style titling, pull quotes, and formal printed materials such as invitations, programs, and certificates when set with comfortable spacing.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone with a warm, human presence. Its subtle irregularities and calligraphic modulation suggest traditional printing and careful craftsmanship, making text feel inviting and established rather than clinical.
The design appears intended to evoke old-style, calligraphic serif tradition with a refined contrast and an intentionally human rhythm. It prioritizes readable, cultured text color while preserving enough character in terminals and serifs to feel crafted and distinctive.
Uppercase forms are stately but not rigid, with soft bracketing and gentle curvature that avoid sharp, modern extremes. Lowercase details (like the single-storey-style movement in bowls and the tapered ascenders/descenders) contribute to an even, comfortable page color, while the high-contrast strokes add a refined sparkle in larger sizes.
