A traditional serif with gently bracketed serifs, soft curves, and moderate stroke modulation that suggests a pen-influenced construction. Proportions feel slightly compact with a relatively short x-height and a steady, readable rhythm in text. Counters are open and rounded, terminals are subtly tapered, and the overall drawing favors smooth, humanist curves over sharp geometric tension. Numerals share the same old-style warmth, with rounded forms and understated contrast that keeps figures cohesive in running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It can also serve in refined branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional, cultured voice without heavy ornamentation.
The tone is classic and literary, evoking book typography and editorial tradition. Its warm, slightly calligraphic shaping feels approachable rather than austere, balancing authority with a human, crafted character.
The design appears intended as a readable, classic serif that brings humanist warmth and a slightly calligraphic touch to continuous text, providing a dependable typographic color for editorial and literary contexts.
Uppercase forms carry a stately presence with restrained flourish, while lowercase shapes maintain a calm cadence that reads comfortably at paragraph sizes. The design’s soft bracketing and mild modulation help it retain personality without becoming decorative.
