A serif typeface with soft, bracketed serifs and gently tapered terminals that suggest a calligraphic tool without connecting strokes. The strokes show moderate contrast and a smooth, slightly swelling rhythm, with rounded joins and subtly flared ends that keep the texture lively. Uppercase forms read traditional and stable, while lowercase has a friendly, slightly oldstyle feel with open counters and a modest, balanced x-height. Numerals appear sturdy and readable, with curved figures and calm proportions that sit comfortably in text settings.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely for literary titles, quotes, and formal collateral like invitations or programs, and can support branding that wants a classic, established feel with subtle hand-crafted nuance.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a formal, editorial voice that still comes across as warm and human. Its softened serifs and mild calligraphic modulation add a crafted, traditional character rather than a strictly mechanical one.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with understated calligraphic shaping, offering a polished, formal voice that remains approachable in continuous text.
In text, the face produces an even gray value with small, expressive details at terminals and serifs that become more noticeable at display sizes. The forms lean toward timeless readability, with a gentle, slightly historic flavor appropriate for refined typography.
