A readable, book-oriented serif with bracketed serifs, gently tapered strokes, and moderate stroke modulation. Curves are round and open, with a steady rhythm and slightly calligraphic stress that keeps shapes warm rather than mechanical. The lowercase shows traditional proportions with two-storey a and g, a fairly compact overall color, and clear differentiation between stems, bowls, and joins. Capitals are balanced and not overly wide, with crisp terminals and conventional, restrained detailing that supports continuous text.
Well suited to body copy in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It should perform comfortably in magazines, reports, and other dense reading environments, and can also serve for headings when a traditional, understated tone is needed.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, suggesting editorial seriousness without feeling austere. Its moderated contrast and softened joins give it a familiar, literary voice suited to long-form reading. The impression is refined and trustworthy, leaning toward classical print typography rather than contemporary display styling.
This design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic neutrality while retaining a classical, humanist character. The forms aim for dependable performance in continuous reading and a polished, print-centric aesthetic.
Numerals appear lining and proportioned for text use, with classic serifed forms and consistent weight relative to the letters. Spacing in the sample reads even and steady, helping paragraphs maintain a smooth typographic texture at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; the style presented maintains an orderly, conventional roman presence.
