A calligraphic old-style serif with softly bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and gently uneven contours that suggest ink on paper rather than rigid geometry. The letterforms show warm proportions with rounded joins and slightly cupped terminals, while the capitals keep a sturdy, traditional stance. Curves and diagonals have subtle flare and taper, and the overall rhythm feels lively due to small irregularities in stroke edges and spacing, giving a subtly hand-touched texture in continuous text.
Well-suited to book and editorial typography, especially where a warm, traditional voice is desired. It can also work effectively in packaging, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a classic serif with a slightly artisanal finish, performing best when given enough size and leading to let its texture breathe.
The tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography with a hint of craft and storytelling charm. Its slightly roughened, inked character adds warmth and approachability without becoming overtly decorative.
Likely intended to deliver a familiar old-style reading experience while adding a modest hand-inked personality for distinctive texture. The design balances conventional proportions with small organic details to keep pages and headlines from feeling sterile.
In the sample text, the texture becomes more pronounced at larger sizes, where the irregular edges read as intentional print character. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same calligraphic logic, helping headlines and short passages feel cohesive.
