A soft, oldstyle serif with gently bracketed serifs and rounded stroke endings. Stems and curves show moderate contrast, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that keeps counters open and forms clear. The uppercase is broad and calm, while the lowercase adds lively details such as looped descenders and subtle entry/exit flicks, giving the face an organic rhythm. Numerals follow the same rounded, humanist construction, with smooth curves and readable shapes.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where a friendly traditional serif is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that benefit from an artisanal or storybook tone, and it works nicely for pull quotes and headings where its lively terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels warm and approachable, with a lightly whimsical, literary character. Its softened serifs and flowing terminals suggest a traditional voice with a handmade, personable edge rather than a strict, formal one.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with softened, slightly calligraphic detailing to create a readable face that feels human and characterful. It aims for a traditional foundation while adding gentle quirks in the lowercase and numerals for a distinctive, approachable texture.
Curves tend to be generous and circular (notably in O/Q/0), and several letters use gently tapered joins that add movement without becoming ornate. Spacing appears comfortable in text, supporting steady reading while retaining a distinctive personality.
