A readable text face with classical proportions and distinctly calligraphic stroke shaping. Curves are softly bracketed into stems and terminals, with subtle flaring and tapered joins that give letters a sculpted, pen-influenced feel. The lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies, including a double-storey “g” and humanist-style modulation through bowls and shoulders. Numerals and capitals keep an even, composed rhythm, with rounded forms (O, C, Q) staying open and balanced and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) cut cleanly without sharp, brittle points.
This font is well suited to long-form reading in print and on screen, including books, essays, and magazine layouts where an even typographic color matters. It can also work for branding and packaging that want a classic, reputable voice, and for headings when set larger to showcase its subtle shaping.
The overall tone feels literary and formal, with a bookish polish that suggests tradition rather than minimalism. Its gentle modulation and bracketed shaping add warmth and authority, making it feel suited to serious, considered messaging.
The design appears intended to combine contemporary clarity with traditional, text-oriented detailing. Its restrained modulation and bracketed, pen-like terminals aim to deliver a comfortable reading rhythm while retaining a distinctly classic personality.
The design maintains a consistent texture across mixed-case text, with clear counters and steady spacing that supports paragraph settings. Small details—like the Q’s pronounced tail and the more calligraphic lowercase joins—add character without becoming decorative.
