A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a moderate, text-oriented contrast between thick and thin strokes. The capitals are sturdy and evenly proportioned, with softly flared serifs and smooth curves that keep counters open and calm. Lowercase forms show a traditional rhythm with rounded bowls, a compact ear on the g, and a single-storey a that adds a slightly human, less rigid feel. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in silhouette with gentle curvature and ball-like terminals in places, maintaining an even color across text.
This design is well suited to long-form body copy in books, magazines, and other editorial layouts where a stable reading rhythm is important. It can also support academic or institutional materials and print applications such as reports, programs, and catalogs, while remaining confident enough for modest display use in headings.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a familiar editorial presence that feels trustworthy and composed. Subtle softness in the serifs and curves lends warmth, keeping the voice formal without becoming severe.
The font appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif with a slightly softened, human touch—aiming for clarity and comfort in extended reading while preserving a conventional, professional appearance.
In running text the spacing and stroke modulation produce a steady texture suitable for continuous reading, while the distinctive single-storey a and lively numerals add character at larger sizes without becoming decorative.
