A high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and softly tapered strokes that suggest broad-nib calligraphic influence. Capitals are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, with crisp entry/exit terminals and a gently irregular, organic edge to curves and joins. Lowercase forms are open and readable with moderate proportions; ascenders are prominent and bowls feel round but not geometric. The rhythm is lively rather than mechanical, and the numerals follow the same old-style logic with varied widths and traditional, flowing shapes.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for chapter titles, pull quotes, and classic-leaning branding or packaging that benefits from an old-style, crafted tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, evoking traditional print and literary settings. Its lively stroke modulation and slightly rustic, human touch keep it warm and personable rather than formal or austere.
Designed to provide a traditionally grounded reading experience with a human, calligraphic personality. The intention appears to balance text usability with enough stroke character and modulation to feel distinctive in headlines and titling.
In text, the color is moderately dark with clear internal whitespace, and the contrast gives a crisp sparkle at larger sizes. Some glyphs show distinctly calligraphic terminals (notably in curved letters and diagonals), which adds character and can become a feature in display use.
