A classic serif with softly bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and gently calligraphic modulation. Curves are round and full, with terminals and serifs that flare slightly and feel hand-informed rather than mechanical. The rhythm is lively: stems show subtle tapering, counters are open, and several letters include small hooked or beaked details (notably in the lowercase). Numerals are sturdy and readable, matching the text color of the alphabet with consistent serif treatment.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a warm, traditional texture is desired. It can also support identity work and packaging that aims for a classic or heritage impression, especially when set at medium to larger sizes where its details read clearly.
The overall tone is warm and literary, suggesting traditional print culture and a slightly old-world charm. Its gentle irregularities and calligraphic cues lend a human presence that feels approachable and trustworthy rather than austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, text-forward serif with old-style warmth and subtle calligraphic flavor, balancing traditional proportions with enough distinctive detail to feel individual in headlines and short passages.
The lowercase shows distinct, characterful forms—particularly in letters with descenders and joins—adding personality in text settings. The serif treatment remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing an even, confident typographic color in paragraphs.
