A serif typeface with calligraphic, old-style construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show subtly uneven, organic modulation with softened joins and tapered terminals that give the outlines a lightly hand-cut feel. Proportions are moderately compact with round, open counters and a steady rhythm; capitals are sturdy and slightly wide, while lowercase forms keep a readable, traditional texture. Numerals follow the same serifed, old-style character, with curving strokes and softened details that blend naturally into text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a warm, traditional serif texture is desirable. It also works for cultural branding, headings, and packaging that benefit from a crafted, heritage-leaning voice without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a warm, human presence rather than a strict, mechanical finish. Its slightly irregular, ink-like contours suggest tradition, craft, and a comfortable, approachable seriousness.
The type appears designed to evoke the comfort and familiarity of historical printing, pairing readable old-style proportions with a subtly hand-rendered surface. Its goal seems to be a dependable text face with added personality and warmth for contemporary use.
The design’s liveliness comes from small asymmetries and softened edges, which add character in larger sizes while still forming an even paragraph color. Curved letters (like C, G, O, and S) emphasize rounded shaping and gentle flare, reinforcing the type’s historical, text-oriented mood.
