A traditional serif with gently bracketed serifs and subtly flared, rounded terminals that give the letterforms a softened, slightly calligraphic finish. Strokes show moderate modulation and smooth transitions into serifs, producing a steady, readable texture in paragraph settings. Proportions lean classic: capitals are sturdy and slightly wide, while lowercase forms are open and approachable with a moderate x-height and clear counters. The overall rhythm feels even, with small irregularities in terminal shaping that add a handmade warmth without becoming decorative.
It performs well in extended reading settings such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a comfortable serif texture is desired. The warm, slightly vintage character also suits literary branding, invitations, and packaging that benefits from a traditional voice without high formality.
The font conveys a familiar, bookish tone—confident and conventional, yet softened by rounded details. Its lively terminals and mild modulation add a friendly, slightly vintage voice suited to narrative and editorial contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with added warmth and personality, balancing familiar book typography proportions with gently expressive terminals for a more human, approachable feel.
Figures are oldstyle-like in feel, with noticeable curves and varying heights that blend naturally with lowercase text. Uppercase forms such as Q, R, and W show distinctive, slightly expressive strokes, reinforcing a classic print personality rather than a strictly rational, modern construction.
