A serif design with softly bracketed, slightly flared terminals and a gently irregular, hand-influenced rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with rounded joins and subtly tapered endings that keep counters open and forms readable at text sizes. The serifs are modest and often wedge-like rather than sharp, giving letters a carved/inked feel. Numerals and capitals maintain a traditional structure while retaining the same soft, slightly quirky terminal treatment, creating a cohesive, lightly decorative texture in paragraphs.
Well suited to book interiors, editorial layouts, and magazine text where a warm, traditional voice is desired. It can also work effectively for literary titles, pull quotes, and packaging or labels that benefit from an old-world, handcrafted impression without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone feels literary and human—classic enough for long reading, but with a playful, storybook charm. Its softened details and lively terminals suggest a friendly, slightly antique character rather than a formal or rigid one.
Likely intended as a readable serif with a deliberately humanized finish—combining familiar old-style proportions with softened, slightly idiosyncratic terminals to add personality in both display and text settings.
In text, the face produces a gently mottled color due to small variations in terminal shapes and the slightly animated curves in letters like a, g, y, and s. The capitals have a dignified silhouette but avoid stiffness through rounded bracket transitions and subtle flare, which helps headings feel inviting rather than imposing.
