A warm old-style serif with softly bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes that show a modest calligraphic modulation. The forms lean on rounded, open bowls and slightly irregular, humanist construction, giving the outlines a subtly hand-cut feel rather than strict geometric precision. Capitals are sturdy and traditional, with balanced proportions and clear internal counters; lowercase is compact with a short x-height, pronounced ascenders, and readable apertures. Overall spacing feels even and calm, with a steady text rhythm that stays legible in continuous setting.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a warm serif texture is desirable. It also fits literary titling, cultural or heritage-oriented materials, and packaging or labels that benefit from a traditional, crafted voice.
The tone is classic and bookish, with an inviting, human presence. Its mild irregularity and soft terminals suggest craft and tradition, lending an understated, literary character rather than a sleek or corporate one.
The font appears intended to provide a comfortable, traditional reading experience with a humanist, calligraphy-informed flavor. It balances classical proportions and familiar serif cues with a slightly handmade texture to keep the page feeling lively and approachable.
The design shows consistent serif treatment and a coherent stroke logic across upper- and lowercase, while allowing small, organic variations that add texture on the page. Numerals and punctuation visually match the text weight and modulation, supporting multi-line composition without calling attention to themselves.
