A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and softly tapered stroke endings. The forms show moderate stroke modulation with smooth, rounded transitions and an even, measured rhythm in text. Proportions lean toward a smaller x-height with relatively tall ascenders, giving the lowercase a delicate, vertical presence. Curves are broad and open (notably in C, O, and e), while joins and terminals remain tidy and understated. The figures appear in an oldstyle style with varied heights and a more text-centric texture than lining numerals.
This typeface is well suited to body copy in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works for headings, pull quotes, and captions in print-like designs that benefit from a restrained, traditional tone.
The overall tone feels traditional and cultivated, with a quiet elegance suited to editorial and literary settings. Its restrained contrast and rounded finishing details convey a calm, composed voice rather than a loud or decorative one.
The design appears intended as a dependable, book-oriented serif: comfortable for continuous reading, visually conservative, and distinguished by gentle stroke modulation and carefully bracketed serifs rather than overt stylistic flourish.
Capitals are stately and open with clear serif articulation, and the lowercase maintains a smooth, readable flow at paragraph sizes. The italic is not shown in the samples, and the roman relies on subtle detailing—especially in the serifs and curved terminals—to create character without disrupting text color.
