A calligraphic serif with softly bracketed serifs, tapered strokes, and a lively, hand-influenced rhythm. Stems show clear modulation, with rounded joins and slightly flared terminals that keep the texture smooth rather than sharp. Counters are open and generously shaped, and the overall proportions feel relaxed and readable, with sturdy capitals and slightly larger, friendly lowercase forms. Numerals follow the same old-style softness, with rounded bowls and modest, text-oriented detailing.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a warm serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding that benefits from a traditional, human presence.
The tone is classic and literary, evoking printed book pages and traditional editorial typography. Subtle stroke movement and warm detailing lend an approachable, human character that feels cultured rather than formal or severe.
The letterforms appear designed to balance classic old-style proportions with a polished, contemporary cleanliness, aiming for comfortable readability and a personable tone across both display and text sizes.
The design’s gentle serifs and tapered entry/exit strokes create a continuous, flowing baseline rhythm in text. Shapes stay clear at paragraph sizes, with enough contrast and detail to remain distinctive in headings without becoming brittle.
