A calligraphic serif with lively, slightly irregular stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs. Stems show gentle modulation and rounded transitions, with tapered terminals that feel pen-influenced rather than mechanically crisp. Proportions are traditional and readable, with open counters and a slightly uneven, hand-touched rhythm that becomes more apparent in the lowercase and numerals. The overall spacing and color are steady for continuous reading, while small idiosyncrasies in curves and joins add texture without turning into a distressed style.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a warm, traditional texture is desirable. It also works effectively for literary branding, museum or heritage-themed materials, and packaging or invitations that benefit from an old-style, handcrafted voice.
The font conveys an antique, literary tone with a warm, human presence. Its subtle hand-made character suggests classic printing and traditional craft, lending a friendly, storybook quality rather than a formal, high-contrast elegance.
The design appears intended to reinterpret an old-style, calligraphy-informed serif for comfortable text setting while preserving a gently irregular, human cadence. It balances readability with character, aiming for a classic page color that still feels personal and crafted.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and classical, while the lowercase carries more of the pen-made motion in shoulders, bowls, and ear/terminal details. Numerals match the text tone, with slightly varied widths and softly shaped curves that keep the set cohesive in running copy.
