A warm serif with calligraphic undertones, showing gently bracketed serifs, tapered stroke endings, and a softly modulated rhythm. Curves are generous and open, with rounded joins and a slightly organic, hand-influenced finish rather than crisp geometric precision. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and steady, while the lowercase has a fluid texture with clear differentiation between forms (notably the two-storey a and g) and a readable, even color in text. Numerals follow the same humanist modulation, with smooth curves and classical proportions that sit comfortably alongside the letters.
This design suits book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine text where a comfortable, traditional reading texture is needed. It also works well for literary titles, pull quotes, and brand identities aiming for heritage, craft, or understated elegance.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying a quiet refinement without feeling stiff. Its warmth and subtle irregularities suggest printed-page tradition—inviting, trustworthy, and suited to long-form reading as well as cultured display.
The letterforms appear drawn to balance classical serif conventions with a personable, humanist flow, prioritizing readability and an inviting page color while keeping enough character for headings and short display settings.
Terminals and serifs tend to taper and soften, which helps maintain a graceful texture at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a consistent upright voice with a measured, text-friendly rhythm.
