A traditional serif with gently bracketed, flared serifs and softly tapered stroke endings that create a calm, continuous rhythm. Proportions feel slightly condensed in the caps with broad, open counters and a measured, book-text color. The lowercase shows a restrained oldstyle influence—two-storey a and g, a modest x-height, and rounded joins—while maintaining crisp terminals and clear differentiation between stems and curves. Numerals follow the same text-oriented logic, with smooth curves and stable verticals suited to running copy.
Well-suited to book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and comfortable reading rhythm are important. It also fits reports, academic documents, and brand materials that need a restrained, authoritative tone in headlines and subheads as well as body copy.
The overall tone is classical and literary, evoking established editorial typography and a sense of trust. Its moderate contrast and composed detailing read as polished and formal without becoming ornate or overly sharp.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-first serif: understated detailing, dependable letterforms, and a balanced contrast that prioritizes clarity and tradition in continuous reading.
Round letters (C, O, Q) are generous and smooth, while diagonals (V, W, Y) end in neat, slightly flared points that keep the texture even. The shapes maintain consistent spacing and a steady baseline presence, supporting long-form readability.
