An old-style serif with soft, calligraphic modulation and subtly uneven contours that suggest hand-drawn influence. Serifs are tapered and bracketed, with rounded joins and a relaxed rhythm across lines. Proportions lean classical, with modest capitals and a relatively small x-height, producing airy counters and an elegant, slightly antique color on the page.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional texture is desired. It also works effectively for museum or heritage-themed materials, literary branding, and packaging that benefits from an old-world, crafted tone. For display use, it can add period character to titles, pull quotes, and chapter openers without becoming overly decorative.
This typeface conveys a bookish, historical tone with a gentle, human touch. Its slightly irregular, pen-like details add an artisanal warmth that feels literary and traditional rather than corporate or ultra-polished.
The design appears intended to evoke classical printing and humanist handwriting while remaining readable in continuous text. Its restrained contrast and softly modeled serifs prioritize comfortable, familiar texture over sharp modern precision, aiming for a timeless, editorial voice.
The sample text shows a slightly lively baseline feel and irregular stroke edges that read as intentional texture rather than strict geometric construction. Numerals and capitals maintain the same warm, softly modeled detailing, helping headings and running text feel cohesive.
