A lightly built serif with a distinctly hand-influenced rhythm and softly irregular details. Strokes show gentle modulation and tapered terminals, with compact lowercase proportions and small counters that keep the texture crisp. Serifs are small and bracketed, often finishing in subtly angled, chiseled ends that add sparkle without feeling sharp. The letterforms lean on old-style construction: rounded bowls, modestly diagonal stress, and varied, slightly idiosyncratic widths that create an animated, bookish color in text.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif with a human touch is desired. It also works nicely for literary or cultural titles, pull quotes, and boutique branding—especially when you want a classic voice with subtle character rather than a pristine, modern finish.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a warm, human presence that feels closer to pen-drawn forms than to rigid, mechanical type. Its slightly quirky, hand-touched finish reads as thoughtful and traditional rather than austere, lending a gentle personality to both display lines and comfortable reading sizes.
The design appears intended to capture old-style readability while preserving the nuanced irregularities of calligraphic construction. Its proportions and delicate detailing aim to create a warm, text-friendly texture that can also add personality in larger settings.
Capitals have a dignified but informal presence, with curved strokes and restrained, uneven edges that keep them from feeling overly monumental. Numerals follow the same organic logic, with open, readable shapes and mild asymmetries that match the alphabet’s lively texture. In running text the short lowercase and fine detailing produce a slightly darker, textured pattern than a purely rational old-style serif at the same size.
