A serif face with softly bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and subtly organic curves. The texture is lively: terminals and joins show a mild, hand-inked wobble that keeps lines from feeling mechanically rigid. Proportions lean classic, with a comparatively small x-height against taller ascenders and prominent capitals, producing an old-style reading rhythm and a slightly formal silhouette.
Well suited to editorial layouts, books, and long-form reading where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also work effectively for headlines, pull quotes, packaging, and branding that benefit from a vintage or handcrafted impression, especially at medium to large sizes where the lively details are most apparent.
This typeface conveys a bookish, traditional tone with a hint of hand-crafted warmth. Its gentle irregularities and calligraphic flavor make it feel approachable and slightly rustic rather than sleek or corporate.
The design appears intended to evoke classic print typography with a human, calligraphic undercurrent. Its balanced contrast and bracketed serifs aim for comfortable reading while the slightly irregular detailing adds character for display or editorial emphasis.
Capitals feel sturdy and prominent, while lowercase forms retain a soft, rounded motion that keeps paragraphs from looking overly stiff. Numerals and punctuation match the same gently irregular, inked texture, supporting a cohesive, print-like voice across mixed content.
