A sturdy serif with softly bracketed terminals and gently flared, wedge-like serifs that keep strokes feeling carved rather than engineered. The forms show moderate stroke modulation with a slightly calligraphic rhythm, giving curves a supple, inked quality. Uppercase proportions are classical and steady, while the lowercase leans toward compact, readable shapes with rounded joins and occasional angular notches in the terminals. Counters are moderately open and the overall color is even, producing a confident, text-friendly texture that stays distinctive at display sizes.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a familiar, traditional voice is desired. It also works effectively for literary or heritage-leaning headlines, packaging, and identity systems that benefit from a classic serif with a touch of old-world character.
The font reads as traditional and literary, with a subtly medieval or storybook undertone. Its warm, slightly hand-influenced detailing suggests heritage printing and classic book typography rather than contemporary minimalism.
Likely intended as a conventional text serif with added warmth and historical flavor, balancing dependable readability with distinctive wedge-serifs and subtly calligraphic modulation for personality.
The numerals and lowercase maintain the same softened, wedge-terminal logic as the capitals, helping mixed text feel cohesive. Diagonal strokes (as in V/W/X) are firm and weighty, while curved letters maintain a rounded, slightly sculpted silhouette that reinforces an old-style tone.
