A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, bookish rhythm. Curves are smoothly drawn with slightly calligraphic shaping, while terminals and serifs feel tapered rather than blocky. Proportions are balanced and comfortable for reading, with clear differentiation between thick and thin strokes and generally open counters that keep the texture even in paragraph settings.
Well suited to long-form reading environments such as books, essays, magazines, and reports where a familiar serif voice and even paragraph color are priorities. It can also serve for headings and pull quotes when a traditional, authoritative tone is desired without looking overly ornate.
The overall tone is classic and composed, evoking editorial and literary typography rather than display theatrics. It reads as traditional and dependable, with a subtle warmth from the softly modeled serifs and curves.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose roman for comfortable continuous reading, prioritizing conventional forms, consistent rhythm, and typographic neutrality with a touch of traditional warmth.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and fairly wide, with the round letters showing a gentle stress rather than geometric neutrality. Lowercase characters maintain clear silhouettes; the roman ‘g’ is double-storey and the ‘t’ has a compact, traditional crossbar, supporting a familiar text-face feel. Numerals are lining and sturdy, matching the same serifed, moderately contrasted construction.
