A compact, upright roman with gently modulated strokes and subtly flared, bracket-like terminals that give many joins a carved or inked look. Curves are full and rounded, with a slightly squarish structure in some bowls, while straight strokes often taper at the ends rather than finishing bluntly. The lowercase is sturdy and readable with a moderate x-height, open counters, and a two-storey ‘g’ featuring a pronounced ear; the uppercase shows a calm, traditional proportioning with softened corners and occasional wedge-like terminals. Numerals follow the same tapered, oldstyle-leaning rhythm, favoring rounded forms and angled entry/exit strokes.
This face fits editorial and publishing work where a familiar, readable voice is needed but a neutral sans would feel too plain—book covers, magazine features, pull quotes, and cultural posters. Its terminal character can also add craft and authenticity to packaging and branding, especially at display sizes, while remaining steady enough for short text blocks and headings.
The overall tone feels literary and human, balancing a classic sensibility with a lightly rustic, hand-cut warmth. It reads as approachable and slightly playful without becoming informal or chaotic, making it well-suited to text that wants personality while staying composed.
The design appears intended to bridge clean, contemporary construction with humanized, traditional detailing, using tapered terminals and gentle stroke modulation to add warmth and distinction without sacrificing clarity.
Spacing appears even and comfortable, supporting continuous reading, while the distinctive terminal treatment adds texture at larger sizes. Diacritics are not shown; the impression of versatility comes from consistent shaping across caps, lowercase, and figures rather than ornamental extremes.
