A polished text face with clear stroke modulation and small, bracketed finishing strokes that read as understated serifs. Proportions are balanced with moderate apertures and smooth, rounded bowls; curves are clean and steady, and joins are carefully controlled for an even rhythm in running text. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase maintains a comfortable, traditional texture with well-shaped counters. Numerals follow the same restrained, text-oriented construction, keeping consistent weight distribution and spacing.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine text, where its steady rhythm and clear counters support comfortable flow. It can also serve in brand systems, reports, and institutional materials that need a conservative, well-established typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, leaning toward literary and editorial contexts rather than loud display. Its measured contrast and refined terminals give it a credible, cultivated voice that feels familiar and trustworthy.
The design appears intended as a versatile, text-forward serif with restrained personality—prioritizing clarity, consistent texture, and a classic reading experience while retaining a few characterful forms for recognition.
Distinctive details include a sweeping Q tail, a two-storey g, and sharp, tidy diagonals (notably in V/W/Y) that add definition without becoming angular or harsh. Spacing appears even in the sample paragraph, producing a stable color across lines.
