This serif presents sturdy, slightly calligraphic letterforms with bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes. Curves are generous and open, with a comfortable rhythm and moderate, humanist proportions that avoid geometric rigidity. Terminals often finish with subtle flare and soft shaping rather than sharp cuts, and round letters like O and C feel full and buoyant. Lowercase forms show familiar old‑style cues—an angled stress, a two‑storey a, and a broad, readable e—while the overall color stays even and calm in text.
It performs well for continuous reading: book interiors, essays, magazines, and other editorial layouts where a stable texture and familiar serif cues support comfort at small to medium sizes. It can also serve for headings when a traditional, literary voice is desired, especially when paired with a restrained layout.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with a warm, approachable seriousness. Its traditional detailing and steady texture feel suited to literary and editorial contexts, suggesting craft and credibility without becoming ornate or formal.
The design appears intended as a dependable old-style text serif that balances historical influence with straightforward readability. Its moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, and warm proportions aim to create an even, comfortable typographic color for sustained reading.
Serifs are consistently bracketed and slightly tapered, helping lines of text knit together smoothly. The italic is not shown; in the upright, the figures and capitals keep a traditional, print-oriented presence with clear differentiation between similar shapes.
