This serif typeface shows old-style construction with softly bracketed serifs, moderate-to-high stroke contrast, and gently tapered terminals that suggest a broad-nib influence. Curves are slightly irregular and organic rather than mechanically geometric, with subtly asymmetric bowls and a lively baseline rhythm. Capitals feel sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase is compact with rounded forms, a two-storey “a,” and a modest, readable x-height. Numerals share the same textured, slightly hand-wrought color, keeping a consistent presence in running text.
It suits long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and comfortable rhythm are desired. It also works well for chapter titles, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural materials that benefit from a classic, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a warm, slightly historic texture that recalls printed pages and traditional editorial typography. Its lively stroke modulation and soft details add an approachable, human feel rather than a cold or purely formal one.
The design appears intended to balance readability with a gently calligraphic, old-style personality, delivering a familiar text face that retains visible warmth and historical texture in both display lines and extended paragraphs.
The spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for continuous reading, producing an even typographic color in the paragraph sample. Stroke endings and serifs vary subtly across forms, giving the face a crafted, print-like character that becomes more apparent at larger sizes.
