This serif typeface shows a humanist, old-style structure with gently bracketed, slightly wedge-like serifs and moderated stroke contrast. Curves are full and open, with softly tapered joins that suggest calligraphic influence rather than rigid geometry. Capitals feel steady and traditional, while lowercase forms are compact with a relatively short x-height and rounded, slightly cupped terminals. Overall spacing reads even and readable, with subtle irregularities in width and stroke modulation that add texture without becoming distressed.
Well suited to book interiors, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where a warm serif texture is desirable. It also works for literary titling, institutional materials, and premium packaging that benefits from a traditional, humanist voice.
The tone is classic and literary, with a warm, slightly handcrafted rhythm reminiscent of traditional book typography. It feels established and trustworthy, projecting an old-world charm that can read as scholarly or quietly refined depending on setting and size.
The design appears intended to provide a comfortable, traditional reading experience with a distinctly humanist flavor—balancing calligraphic warmth and clear, steady construction for dependable text setting.
Details such as the curled ear on the lowercase “g,” the gently hooked terminals on letters like “f” and “t,” and the robust, rounded numerals contribute to a personable, historic color on the page. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright, emphasizing the roman’s calm, text-forward character.
