A serif face with bracketed, slightly flared terminals and a gently calligraphic, hand-inked rhythm. Strokes show subtle irregularities and soft swelling, with crisp hairlines and sturdier verticals that give a lightly textured, printed feel. Serifs tend toward wedge-like or tapered shapes rather than rigid slabs, and many joins and terminals finish with small hooks or asymmetric flicks that keep the outlines lively. Proportions are traditional and text-oriented, with compact lowercase and relatively prominent extenders, producing a varied, slightly uneven color across lines.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired with a touch of individuality. It also works effectively for literary titles, pull quotes, and identity systems that want an old-world or academic tone without feeling overly formal.
The overall tone is literary and historically minded, like a lightly idiosyncratic book serif. Its small quirks—hooked terminals, uneven warmth, and slightly eccentric details—add personality without tipping into novelty, suggesting an editorial voice that is smart, human, and a bit whimsical.
Likely designed to evoke a traditional reading experience while introducing subtly unconventional details for a recognizable voice. The intent appears to balance familiar old-style proportions with artisanal, slightly eccentric terminal work to stand out in display and remain comfortable in text.
The caps read formal but not rigid, while the lowercase carries more of the distinctive character through curved terminals and soft, ink-like finishing. Numerals follow the same old-style sensibility, with gentle curves and varied widths that blend naturally into running text.
