A sturdy old‑style serif with bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and gently modulated stroke weight. The letterforms are relatively broad with generous counters and a comfortable, slightly irregular rhythm that feels drawn rather than mechanical. Serifs are softly flared and well-integrated into stems, and curves show mild swelling that creates a calm, readable texture in text. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded construction, maintaining consistent color and presence.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a warm serif texture is desirable. It also works for headlines, pull quotes, and cultural or heritage-leaning branding where a traditional voice and strong silhouette are beneficial.
The overall tone is classic and approachable, with a quiet, literary character that suggests tradition without feeling overly formal. Its softened serifs and warm proportions give it a human, editorial feel suited to narrative and culture-forward contexts.
Designed to deliver an old-style reading experience with a friendly, crafted texture—balancing sturdy serifs and moderate modulation for clarity while keeping a human, calligraphic softness in the curves and joins.
The uppercase has a stable, inscriptional presence while the lowercase carries most of the warmth through rounded terminals and smooth, calligraphy-leaning transitions. In the sample text, spacing and shapes produce an even, slightly chunky typographic color that holds up well at larger text and display sizes.
