A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and subtly sculpted strokes that show a gentle, calligraphic modulation. Capitals are sturdy and evenly proportioned with crisp terminals, while the lowercase has rounded bowls, a two-storey a, and a compact, readable rhythm. The serif treatment is slightly wedge-like in places, giving the outlines a lively, hand-influenced texture without becoming decorative, and spacing feels balanced for continuous reading.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine articles where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It also fits reports and formal documents that benefit from a traditional, authoritative typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, evoking printed literature and editorial typography. It feels reliable and familiar, with just enough warmth and movement to avoid a strictly mechanical impression.
The design appears intended as a dependable text serif that prioritizes legibility and a classic printed feel, balancing traditional proportions with slightly lively, calligraphic shaping for warmth in extended passages.
The figures follow the same robust, traditional model as the letters, with clear shapes and confident curves suited to mixed text. Stroke joins and bracketing contribute to a cohesive, sturdy color on the page, especially in paragraph settings.
