This serif typeface shows oldstyle, humanist proportions with gently bracketed serifs and softly tapered terminals. Strokes have a subtle diagonal stress and moderate modulation, producing a calm, even texture in paragraphs. Capitals are stately and slightly wide, with crisp serifs and smooth curves (notably in C, G, and O), while the lowercase has rounded bowls, a two-storey a, and a generally open, readable construction. Numerals follow the same text-oriented rhythm, with traditional shapes and modest detailing that keeps them compatible with running copy.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady serif rhythm supports comfortable scanning. It also fits institutional and professional materials—reports, catalogs, and publishing—where a traditional, credible voice is desired.
The overall tone feels established and bookish, evoking editorial and academic settings. Its restrained modulation and conventional detailing read as dependable and professional, with a mild warmth that prevents it from feeling overly rigid.
The design appears intended as a conventional, general-purpose text serif: prioritizing readability, familiar letterforms, and a balanced page color over display eccentricities. Its classic proportions and moderate detailing suggest a focus on durable, print-friendly typography for continuous reading.
Serif detailing is consistent across sizes, and the font maintains clear differentiation between similar forms (e.g., I/l/1) through strong serifs and distinctive shapes. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman.
