A formal, unconnected roman with a handwritten inflection, featuring bracketed, rounded serifs and gently tapered stroke endings. Curves are smooth and slightly organic rather than mechanical, with modest stroke modulation and a steady, even color on the page. Proportions lean traditional with a moderate x-height, open bowls, and comfortably wide counters; the lowercase shows a double-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a softly angled, calligraphic “f.” Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and subtle rhythm that matches the text forms.
Well suited to editorial and book settings where a traditional voice with a human touch is desirable, including pull quotes, headings, and readable short-to-medium passages. It can also support refined branding and stationery—such as invitations or menus—where an understated calligraphic flavor adds personality without becoming ornamental.
The overall tone feels classic and bookish, with a warm, human presence that reads as careful pen work translated into type. It conveys approachability without looking casual, balancing elegance and everyday readability.
Likely designed to evoke a classic serif reading experience while introducing subtle handwritten nuance through softened serifs, tapered terminals, and gently expressive lowercase forms. The oldstyle numerals and moderated contrast suggest an emphasis on comfortable, traditional typography with a personable finish.
Distinctive, gently hooked terminals and rounded joins add character in larger sizes, while the steady rhythm and open shapes help maintain clarity in paragraphs. The uppercase has a dignified, slightly softened silhouette that pairs well with the more animated lowercase.
