A high-contrast serif with visibly bracketed serifs and subtly flared terminals that give the strokes a calligraphic, hand-informed feel. Curves are full and slightly irregular in a deliberate way, with a lively baseline rhythm and gentle modulation through joins and counters. Capitals feel stately yet not rigid, while the lowercase shows distinctive, slightly quirky details (notably in curves and terminals) that keep the texture animated in continuous text.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and comfortable rhythm are desired. It also works nicely for literary titles, pull quotes, and refined printed materials like programs or invitations where a classic tone with a touch of character is beneficial.
The overall tone is classical and literary, evoking traditional book typography with a slightly whimsical, human presence. It reads as dignified without being austere, projecting warmth and personality suited to narrative or editorial voices.
Likely designed to provide a traditional serif reading experience with humanist warmth—pairing classical proportions and contrast with subtle calligraphic nuances to avoid a sterile, purely mechanical look.
The figures appear oldstyle in spirit, blending comfortably with the lowercase and reinforcing a text-first character. In the sample paragraph, the font maintains an even color despite the strong contrast, with clear word shapes and an expressive rhythm that feels more organic than mechanical.
