A calligraphic serif with bracketed serifs and a gently modulated stroke that keeps contrast moderate and even. The letterforms show warm, slightly irregular rhythm: bowls are rounded but not geometric, terminals often finish with subtle wedges, and joins carry a hand-drawn tension. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and sturdy, with slightly flared strokes and crisp interior counters; lowercase has compact, readable shapes with distinct ear/terminal gestures and a two-storey a. Numerals follow the same sculpted, old-style feel, with varied widths and softly tapered ends that keep the color lively.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and other long-form reading where a warm serif texture is desirable. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and brand or packaging applications that want a traditional, crafted voice without heavy contrast.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with an old-world, craft-forward character. It reads as confident and familiar rather than sleek, bringing a hint of historical warmth and human presence to the page.
Likely designed to evoke a historically rooted, humanist reading experience: a practical text serif with enough calligraphic shaping to feel lively and distinguished. The forms prioritize steady readability while retaining expressive details in serifs and terminals for personality.
Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, producing a natural cadence in words and lines. Diagonals and curved strokes show mild calligraphic stress, and the serif treatment stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, which helps long passages maintain a cohesive texture.
