A calligraphic serif with lively stroke modulation and slightly irregular, hand-cut edges. Serifs are small and bracketed with subtle flare, and terminals often taper to fine points, giving the outlines a crisp, inked feel. Proportions are compact with modest ascenders and a noticeably small x-height, while counters stay open enough for continuous reading. Spacing feels traditionally balanced, and the overall rhythm shows gentle, human variation rather than strict geometric repetition.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional texture is desired. It also works effectively for chapter titles, pull quotes, and period-inspired packaging or branding that benefits from a crafted, historical voice.
The font conveys an old-world, bookish tone with a tactile, crafted character. Its uneven ink-like contour and warm proportions suggest traditional print and editorial heritage, lending a sense of authenticity and understated formality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic old-style letterforms with visible pen influence and a slightly roughened print texture, prioritizing warmth and typographic color over clinical uniformity.
Round letters like O/Q show a soft, slightly squarish oval tension, and the Q has a distinctive, calligraphic tail. Numerals follow the same drawn logic as the letters, with narrow, elegant forms and tapered joins that keep them consistent in texture alongside text.
