A traditional serif with gently bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give the outlines a softly sculpted, calligraphic feel. Strokes show moderate modulation with rounded joins and slightly irregular, hand-influenced curves rather than rigid geometry. Proportions read as compact in the lowercase, with a relatively low x-height and prominent ascenders, while capitals are broad and steady with a calm, even rhythm. Spacing feels comfortable and a touch generous, supporting continuous reading and giving the letters room to breathe.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a comfortable, traditional reading texture is desired. It can also serve in branding and packaging that wants a heritage or artisanal tone, and works for headings when set with ample size and spacing to let the serif details show.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a warm, human touch that recalls printed book typography. Its soft terminals and mild irregularity add approachability and a crafted character without becoming decorative or playful.
Likely designed to capture an old-style, print-oriented reading experience with a gentle calligraphic influence, prioritizing a warm page color and consistent rhythm across extended text.
Several forms lean into old-style conventions—open counters, modest contrast, and softly swelling stems—creating a lively texture in paragraphs. Numerals and capitals share the same rounded, slightly flared finishing, keeping the set cohesive across text and display sizes.
