A conventional serif with a wide, relaxed set and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes show gentle modulation with subtly tapered terminals, giving the letters a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle flavor without becoming ornate. The lowercase is compact with a modest x-height and clear ascenders/descenders, while counters remain open and rounded for comfortable reading. Overall spacing feels generous, with smooth curves and steady rhythm across text and figures.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. The wide proportions and open counters also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a traditional voice.
The tone is traditional and literary, suggesting printed pages, editorial voice, and restrained formality. Its wide proportions add an unhurried, dignified presence that reads as established and trustworthy rather than trendy.
Designed to deliver a familiar, readable serif with a slightly oldstyle, calligraphy-informed finish, balancing warmth and formality. The generous width and steady modulation aim for an even text color while preserving a distinctly traditional character.
The roman includes noticeable width differences between letters (e.g., narrow I versus broad O), contributing to a lively texture. Numerals appear lining and serifed, matching the same tapered, bracketed finishing as the letters for consistent color in mixed text.
