A warm serif with gently bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings, showing clear calligraphic modulation without becoming high-contrast. Curves are generously rounded and the strokes taper smoothly into terminals, giving the outlines a soft, hand-guided feel. Proportions are comfortable and slightly varied across glyphs, with open counters and a steady rhythm that stays readable while retaining personality. Lowercase forms lean toward old-style construction, with compact joins and rounded shoulders, and the numerals follow the same softly tapered, traditional drawing.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books or editorial layouts where a warm, traditional serif is desired. It also works effectively for literary headings, cultural branding, and print pieces such as invitations or programs that benefit from a classic yet personable voice.
The overall tone is classic and approachable, suggesting bookish refinement rather than formal austerity. Its lively, slightly handmade finish adds a human, crafted character that feels welcoming and familiar.
This design appears intended to deliver comfortable, traditional readability with a clear calligraphic heritage, balancing text utility with a subtly expressive, humanist texture.
The type shows consistent serif treatment across uppercase and lowercase, with pronounced, darkened terminals that help anchor lines of text. Round letters (like O/C and o/e) feel smooth and buoyant, while diagonals and angled joins keep a lively texture in running copy.
