A classic serif with gently bracketed, slightly flared serifs and a subtly calligraphic stroke flow. Curves are full and humanist, with moderate modulation and softly tapered terminals rather than crisp, geometric endings. Proportions feel traditional and readable, with compact counters and a steady, even texture in paragraph settings. The numerals and capitals follow the same warm, slightly irregular rhythm, giving the face a lively, printed character without looking distressed.
It suits long-form reading such as book interiors and editorial layouts, where its traditional proportions and steady rhythm maintain clarity. The slightly distinctive, calligraphic finish also works well for literary or heritage-leaning branding, packaging copy, and headings that need classic character without extreme contrast.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking the feel of older book typography and editorial printing. Its warm modulation and slightly animated detailing add a personable, human presence, reading as familiar, trustworthy, and craft-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, old-style text voice with a humanist warmth—prioritizing comfortable continuous reading while retaining enough personality for display use in titles and pull quotes.
Spacing appears comfortable and text color remains consistent across lines, helping it hold together in longer passages. Several letters show small idiosyncrasies in terminals and joins that add character, making it feel less mechanical than a transitional or modern serif.
