A calligraphic serif with subtly irregular, hand-cut contours and a gently modulated stroke. Serifs are small and often softly bracketed, with flared, tapered terminals that give many strokes a slightly chiseled finish. Proportions feel traditional and bookish: rounded bowls, open counters, and a steady baseline rhythm, while small variations in curves and joins add a textured, organic color in paragraph settings.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a warmer, more tactile serif is desired. It also performs nicely in display and short text for packaging, menus, posters, and invitations that benefit from a vintage or handcrafted feel.
The overall tone is warm and old-world, evoking printed ephemera, folk craft, and storybook typography. Its slight roughness reads as human and tactile rather than mechanical, lending a friendly, historical atmosphere without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to blend traditional old-style readability with a lightly distressed, calligraphy-driven character, offering a historical voice that still holds together in continuous text. The goal seems to be a natural, printed texture and approachable charm rather than pristine geometric precision.
Uppercase forms carry strong presence with classic silhouettes, while lowercase shapes maintain readability through open apertures and clear differentiation. The numerals follow the same hand-worn logic, with gently uneven curves and modest finishing strokes that keep them consistent with the text color.
