A warm serif with bracketed serifs, gently tapered strokes, and a slightly calligraphic rhythm. Curves are full and humanist, with moderate modulation that shows most clearly in round letters and in the flared terminals. The caps feel sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase has open counters and a softly irregular, hand-inked texture that keeps lines from feeling overly rigid. Figures are old-style–leaning in feel, with rounded forms and varied widths that match the face’s organic cadence.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works for headings, pull quotes, and packaging or invitations that benefit from a classic, crafted tone while remaining legible at moderate sizes.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a friendly, slightly rustic color that suggests print tradition rather than sleek modernity. It reads as confident and familiar, conveying a sense of craft and warmth without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, traditional serif with humanist softness—balancing historical, calligraphy-influenced detailing with practical clarity for text and display use.
The font maintains a consistent baseline and vertical stress, but preserves small variations in curvature and terminal shaping that give it a lively, humanist texture. In text settings it produces a comfortable, slightly dark page color with clear word shapes and distinct capitals.
