A traditional serif with gently flared stems and bracketed terminals that give the outlines a subtly calligraphic swell. Proportions are balanced and text-forward, with rounded bowls, open counters, and a steady rhythm that reads smoothly in paragraphs. Serifs are tapered rather than slabby, with softly curved joins and moderate stroke modulation that keeps the texture even while adding a refined sparkle in capitals. Numerals follow the same oldstyle-informed shaping, with sturdy verticals and rounded forms that sit comfortably alongside the lowercase.
Well suited to extended reading in book interiors, magazines, and editorial layouts where steady texture and traditional tone matter. It also works effectively for institutional communications, reports, and formal headings when a classic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting authority without feeling cold or overly mechanical. Its softened flares and moderated contrast add warmth and a slightly historic, editorial character suited to serious, established voices.
The design appears intended as a modern, dependable text serif that draws on oldstyle proportions and flared finishing to maintain warmth and readability at typical reading sizes, while still offering enough refinement for display use in headings.
Capitals have a stately presence with confident verticals and controlled curvature, while the lowercase shows a lively, readable color with clear differentiation between similar shapes. The design favors smooth continuity in long lines, avoiding sharp, high-contrast drama in favor of a composed, print-like texture.
