A serif text face with softly bracketed serifs and a gently modulated stroke that suggests broad-nib or pen influence rather than rigid geometry. Curves are open and slightly oval, terminals are rounded and subtly flared, and joins feel smooth, giving the letters an organic rhythm. Proportions lean classic and slightly narrow in places, with compact lowercase and relatively prominent capitals; overall color is even, with small irregularities that read as deliberate warmth rather than distortion. Numerals and punctuation follow the same quiet, book-like tone, with modest contrast and restrained detailing.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, reports, and editorial layouts where sustained reading comfort matters. It can also support headings, pull quotes, and small-to-medium sized print applications that benefit from a classic, trustworthy voice.
The font conveys a traditional, literary mood—calm, familiar, and slightly antique—like printed text from a well-made book. Its gentle calligraphic cues add friendliness and human presence without becoming decorative or theatrical.
Likely intended as a readable, humanist serif for continuous text, combining conventional old-style proportions with subtle calligraphic warmth to feel timeless and approachable in print-centric settings.
The italic is not shown; the roman relies on restrained contrast and soft bracketing to maintain readability while preserving character. The sample text suggests comfortable spacing and a steady text color, with capitals that feel authoritative but not sharp or high-contrast.
