This typeface has an oldstyle, hand-influenced construction with gently flared, serif-like terminals and rounded joins. Strokes remain relatively even, while subtle swelling and tapered endings create a calligraphic rhythm without connecting letters. Curves are generous and slightly irregular, and the letterforms feel open and readable, with classic proportions and softly bracketed transitions at key strokes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same organic logic, keeping a consistent, drawn quality across the set.
It suits editorial typography, book interiors, and longer passages where a traditional, human presence is desired. The calligraphic detailing also works well for literary titles, invitations, and brand identities that want a classic, personable tone without looking overly ornate.
The overall tone is warm and traditional, suggesting a literary, classical voice rather than a crisp modern one. Its softened edges and lively, human cadence add approachability, making text feel personable and crafted instead of mechanical.
The design appears intended to blend formal, calligraphic cues with practical readability, offering an oldstyle texture that remains calm and consistent in text. It aims for a timeless, hand-crafted feel suitable for refined, narrative-driven communication.
Uppercase forms read as understated and stately, while the lowercase introduces more movement through rounded shoulders and gently hooked or angled endings. Spacing appears comfortable for continuous reading, and the shapes maintain a steady texture in paragraph settings while still showing individual character.
