A traditional serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs, gently modulated strokes, and rounded joins that keep the texture smooth and even in paragraph settings. The capitals are sturdy and proportionate with subtly flared terminals, while the lowercase shows oldstyle influence in the drawn-in, slightly calligraphic curves and modestly varied letter widths. Counters are open and the rhythm is steady, producing a calm, continuous color across lines; numerals sit comfortably alongside the text with clear, unforced shapes.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where consistent texture and comfortable spacing matter. It also fits formal documents, academic materials, and print-heavy branding that benefits from a familiar, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking familiar book typography and institutional print. It feels composed and dependable rather than flashy, with enough warmth in the curves to avoid stiffness.
The font appears designed to provide a conventional, highly readable serif for continuous text, balancing classic proportions with moderate stroke modulation to maintain clarity at a range of text sizes.
The design leans on softly tapered strokes and restrained detailing—noticeable in rounded bowls, smooth serif transitions, and a generally conservative, text-first construction. Uppercase forms remain clean and formal, while the lowercase adds a touch of traditional, humanist character.
