A refined serif with gently bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and softly rounded terminals. The outlines feel slightly calligraphic, with subtle curvature through stems and joins that keeps the rhythm fluid rather than rigid. Proportions are comfortably bookish: broad, open counters, steady spacing, and a calm baseline presence that reads smoothly in continuous text.
It suits long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. The formal, slightly calligraphic tone also works well for invitations, certificates, and brand or packaging applications that benefit from tradition and refinement.
The font conveys a composed, traditional tone—polished and dignified without feeling overly ornate. Its quiet calligraphic nuance adds warmth and a human cadence, giving paragraphs a literary, editorial character.
The design appears intended to blend conventional serif structure with a subtle hand-touched movement, producing a dependable text face that still feels crafted. It prioritizes readability and an elegant page color, aiming for a timeless, print-oriented impression.
Capitals are stately and evenly weighted, pairing well with a lower-case that keeps details restrained and legible. Numerals are clear and conventional, aligning visually with the text style rather than looking purely tabular or geometric.
