A traditional serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and a gently calligraphic modulation. Strokes are relatively light with clear contrast between stems and hairlines, and the curves show soft, humanist shaping rather than rigid geometry. Proportions feel somewhat narrow in the lowercase with a short x-height and longer ascenders, while capitals are stately and evenly paced. Round letters (C, O, Q) are open and smooth, and the numerals follow the same refined, bookish rhythm.
Well-suited to book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture and comfortable reading rhythm are desired. It can also serve for academic documents, cultural programs, and formal communications that benefit from a traditional, print-oriented voice.
The overall tone is classical and composed, evoking printed literature and editorial typography. Its restrained contrast and softly bracketed serifs read as elegant without becoming ornate, giving it a dignified, formal voice suitable for serious content.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes steady paragraph color and a classical reading experience. Its short x-height, bracketed serifs, and moderate modulation suggest a focus on literary and editorial settings rather than display novelty.
The font maintains a consistent, measured rhythm in text, with clear internal space in letters like a, e, and g. The lowercase shows a traditional double-storey a and a two-storey g, reinforcing a conventional text-serif feel. Curved joins and terminals stay smooth and understated, supporting steady readability at paragraph sizes.
