A traditional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, upright rhythm. The letterforms show gently tapered strokes and subtly calligraphic stress, with open counters and clear interior space that stays consistent across the alphabet. Capitals are stately and proportionate, while the lowercase maintains a conventional x-height with rounded shoulders and well-defined joins. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and prominent ascenders/descenders that blend naturally with running text.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and stable paragraph color are important. It can also serve for academic and institutional materials, and for headings when a restrained, classic presence is desired.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting authority without feeling ornate. It reads as composed and traditional, with a slightly old-world warmth that suits long-form, serious content.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif for sustained text, balancing traditional proportions with clean finishing details to maintain clarity at typical reading sizes.
Curves and bowls feel smooth and controlled, and the serifs stay refined rather than heavy, keeping the texture even in paragraphs. The default spacing appears comfortable for text settings, producing a calm gray value in the sample block.
