A serifed text face with calligraphic influence, showing gently modulated strokes and bracketed serifs that feel drawn rather than mechanically constructed. Capitals are classical and open, with smooth curves, tapered joins, and a slightly lively baseline rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact and readable, with rounded bowls, a double-storey “g,” and a clear, upright stress. Numerals are proportional and varied in width, matching the letterforms’ soft contrast and traditional construction.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support formal communication such as invitations, programs, and refined brand systems that need a classic, cultivated tone.
The overall tone is formal yet approachable, with a literary, editorial character that suggests careful penwork and traditional craftsmanship. It reads as refined and calm, with just enough organic variation to feel human and warm rather than sterile.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif readability with a lightly hand-influenced, calligraphic finish, producing a familiar text texture with a more personal, crafted edge. It prioritizes comfortable reading while preserving a formal, traditional presence.
Spacing appears comfortably even for running text, while the serifs and terminals add a subtle texture that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes. The design favors clarity over flamboyance, using restrained contrast and modest detailing to maintain a steady, book-like color on the page.
