This typeface shows classic serif construction with clearly bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings. Strokes have a moderately calligraphic modulation, with soft transitions and a slightly irregular, hand-worked rhythm that keeps forms from feeling mechanically rigid. Capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase is compact with a relatively small x-height and prominent ascenders/descenders, giving text a gently vertical, page-like texture. Curves and joins feel rounded and human, and numerals follow the same traditional, text-oriented tone rather than a geometric or technical one.
Well suited to book interiors, editorial layouts, and historical or literary-themed publishing where a warm old-style serif is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or brand marks that benefit from a traditional, crafted tone.
Overall it conveys a traditional, literary voice—warm and familiar, with a lightly rustic, handcrafted confidence. The slight liveliness in the contours adds personality without tipping into novelty, making it feel historically grounded and approachable.
The design appears intended to reinterpret an old-style, calligraphy-influenced serif for contemporary use, prioritizing warmth, readability, and a gently expressive texture over sterile uniformity.
In running text the spacing and letterfit create a slightly textured color, with noticeable character in bowls, terminals, and serif joints. The italic is not shown, and the roman’s expressive details are most apparent at display and subhead sizes, while still reading comfortably in short passages.
