A calligraphic serif with an ink-drawn feel, combining gently bracketed serifs with subtly tapered strokes. The forms show humanist proportions and a steady rhythm, with round letters kept open and clear while straight strokes remain slightly softened rather than rigid. Terminals often finish in small flicks or teardrop-like endings, and joins in letters like n, m, and h feel handwritten but controlled. Capitals are stately and well-spaced, while the lowercase maintains an even texture suitable for continuous reading.
Works well for editorial layouts, book or magazine typography, and longer passages where a warm serif texture is desired. It also suits branding and packaging that benefits from a refined, traditional voice with a human touch, especially in headlines, pull quotes, and short to medium blocks of copy.
The tone is formal yet approachable, evoking bookish, editorial warmth rather than stark modernity. Its hand-guided details and soft modulation give it a personable voice that still reads as polished and traditional.
Likely designed to bridge classic serif readability with a calligraphic, hand-rendered presence. The intention appears to be a text-capable face that adds gentle personality through modulation and softened details while staying composed and legible.
The numerals follow the same calligraphic logic as the letters, with rounded bowls and gently shaped curves that keep them consistent in running text. Diagonal forms (such as V, W, X, and y) show slight stroke asymmetry that reinforces a drawn-by-hand character without becoming decorative.
