A text-oriented serif with bracketed, softly modeled serifs and gently modulated strokes. The outlines feel slightly calligraphic, with subtle curvature and tapering at joins that keeps the rhythm lively without becoming decorative. Proportions are balanced and readable, with round letters showing mild diagonal stress and counters that stay open in continuous text. Terminals and serifs vary in length across glyphs, giving the face a handmade, human rhythm while maintaining consistent color on the page.
Well suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice and comfortable reading rhythm are priorities. It also works effectively for headlines and subheads that want a traditional, human tone without high contrast or sharp, modern detailing.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting printed pages, classic publishing, and a quietly cultivated voice. Its slight irregularities and warm shaping add a personable, crafted feel rather than a purely formal or mechanical one.
Likely designed to provide a dependable, traditional reading face with evident calligraphic roots—prioritizing warmth, legibility, and a familiar print texture over stark geometry or display flourish.
Capitals are sturdy and slightly varied in width, and the lowercase has clear differentiation between similar forms (notably the curved, oldstyle-style figures and the lively shapes of j, y, and g). The numerals appear oldstyle with ascending/descending forms, reinforcing a text-first, editorial character. In the sample paragraph, spacing and serif behavior support smooth word shapes and steady readability at larger text sizes.
