A warm, old-style serif with bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms show soft, calligraphic shaping in curves and joins, with subtly irregular, ink-like terminals that keep edges from feeling mechanical. Proportions lean traditional with a relatively short x-height, open counters, and a steady rhythm that reads comfortably in continuous text. Capitals are dignified and slightly varied in width, with a notably expressive Q tail, while the lowercase maintains a consistent, humanist texture across words.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a warm, traditional voice is desired. It can also support literary or heritage-oriented branding, pull quotes, and packaging that benefits from a classic, printed feel.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, evoking printed pages, traditional publishing, and period-leaning typography. Its slight roughness and handwritten influence add warmth and approachability without becoming decorative or whimsical.
The design appears intended to translate calligraphic, old-style serif conventions into a practical text face, prioritizing readable rhythm and a familiar, historical tone while adding a touch of organic character in terminals and curves.
In the sample setting, the type forms a cohesive, slightly textured color on the page, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and a stable baseline presence. Numerals appear straightforward and text-friendly, matching the serifed, gently modulated construction of the alphabet.
