A compact old-style serif with softly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings. Strokes show gentle modulation and an organic, slightly irregular edge that reads like ink on paper rather than rigid geometry. Counters are moderately open and proportions are slightly condensed in places, with sturdy capitals and a smaller, low-reaching lowercase. The numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and descenders, matching the face’s traditional rhythm.
Well suited to book interiors, editorial layouts, and long-form reading where a classic old-style voice is desired. It also works for heritage-themed identities, museum or cultural materials, and packaging that benefits from a traditional, slightly hand-printed texture.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a warm, slightly rustic texture. Its mild roughness and calligraphic stress lend a human, lived-in voice that suggests heritage printing rather than slick contemporary branding.
The design appears intended to echo classic book serifs with calligraphic influence while adding a subtle inked irregularity for character. It prioritizes a familiar, readable text rhythm and a warm page texture over pristine, mechanical uniformity.
In continuous text, the unevenness at terminals and serif tips creates a textured color that can feel intentionally “printed” or lightly distressed, especially at larger sizes. Capitals maintain a stately presence without becoming overly sharp or high-contrast.
