A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a calm, upright stance. The proportions feel broad and evenly paced, with open counters and smooth, slightly calligraphic curves that keep forms readable at text sizes. Serifs are crisp but not sharp, and terminals tend toward subtle flaring or soft curves rather than blunt cuts. Lowercase shapes are steady and familiar, with a rounded, single-storey “g” and generally organic joins that maintain an even typographic color.
Well suited to long-form reading environments such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even texture and familiar serif detailing support comfortable reading. It can also serve in magazine typography and institutional or academic materials, and it adapts well to refined branding when a traditional voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a composed, editorial feel. It suggests traditional book typography—polished and dependable rather than trendy—while the gentle curvature and soft terminals add a slightly warm, humanist edge.
The design appears intended as a reliable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and an even page color. Its broad proportions, moderate contrast, and traditional detailing aim to deliver a timeless, editorial voice that works across extended paragraphs and mixed text settings.
Figures appear oldstyle, blending naturally with lowercase text and reinforcing a bookish rhythm. The sample text shows consistent spacing and a stable baseline, producing an even texture across long lines.
