A conventional serif with gently bracketed serifs and softly modulated strokes. The forms show an oldstyle-leaning construction: rounded joins, tapered terminals, and subtle calligraphic influence rather than hard geometric shaping. Counters are open and the spacing feels relaxed, giving the text a steady rhythm. Uppercase proportions are broad and calm, while lowercase details like the single-storey g and flowing ear on the g add warmth and motion without becoming decorative.
Well-suited to body copy in books, magazines, and other editorial settings where an even texture and comfortable reading rhythm matter. It can also support academic or institutional typography, and works for headings when a traditional, understated voice is desired rather than high-impact display styling.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a quiet refinement suited to long-form reading. It feels familiar and trustworthy, leaning toward traditional print culture rather than contemporary minimalism. The mild calligraphic cues add a human, editorial warmth that reads as polite and composed.
The design appears intended as a versatile text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar, humanist tone. Its measured stroke modulation and bracketed serifs aim to produce a stable, comfortable text color with enough character to feel crafted but not stylized.
Numerals appear oldstyle-influenced in feel, with noticeable curves and varied widths that complement the text color. The italics are not shown; all samples present a consistent roman voice with smooth, slightly soft terminals and a non-mechanical finish.
