A calligraphic serif with an oldstyle, humanist skeleton and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with subtly tapered joins and softened terminals that keep the texture smooth rather than sharp. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly open, while the lowercase has a steady rhythm with rounded bowls and a mildly angled stress that reads well in continuous text. Numerals align with the same serifed, bookish construction, matching the letterforms’ proportion and stroke modulation.
Well suited to books, long-form editorial layouts, and other reading-focused settings where a traditional serif tone is desired. It can also support invitations, cultural programming, and brand systems that benefit from a refined, classic voice and a gently calligraphic feel.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting printed tradition with a touch of hand-drawn warmth. It feels formal without becoming rigid, offering a composed, editorial voice that remains approachable and readable.
The design appears intended to bridge formal calligraphic influence and practical text readability, delivering a traditional serif palette with subtle stroke modulation and a calm, familiar rhythm.
Spacing and proportions create an even, comfortable text color, with distinctive serif shaping that adds personality without heavy ornament. Curves and diagonals are handled with a controlled, pen-influenced smoothness, giving the design a quiet, cultivated character.
