An old-style serif with lively, calligraphy-led modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Stems show noticeable contrast with slightly tapered joins, and many terminals resolve into subtle wedges or angled cuts rather than perfectly horizontal finishes. The proportions feel gently varied across letters, with open counters and a readable, moderately compact lowercase that sits on a steady baseline. Capitals are stately and slightly irregular in rhythm, giving the texture a hand-shaped, bookish presence rather than a rigid, mechanical one.
Works well for long-form editorial typography such as book interiors, essays, and magazine articles where a traditional serif texture and comfortable rhythm are desired. It also suits identity work—publisher marks, cultural institutions, and heritage-leaning packaging—where a classic, human voice supports the message.
The tone is classic and literary, with a warm, human touch that reads as traditional rather than formal-modern. Its slightly rugged, ink-on-paper character lends an artisanal feel, suitable for editorial settings that want personality without becoming decorative.
Likely designed to evoke traditional book typography through calligraphic structure, bracketed serifs, and a lively stroke rhythm, balancing readability with a distinctly human, crafted texture.
In text, the type creates a textured “color” with active edges—especially in the diagonals and serif tips—suggesting a design that embraces small asymmetries for warmth. Figures appear lining with old-style influence in their curves and terminals, and the overall spacing feels comfortable for continuous reading.
