A traditional serif with bracketed serifs and gently sculpted strokes that show subtle, calligraphic modulation. Curves are full and slightly organic, with rounded terminals and a smooth transition into the serifs rather than sharp cuts. The capitals read sturdy and classical, while the lowercase shows compact proportions and a relatively low x-height, giving the text a slightly more formal, set-in type feel. Counters are moderately open and the rhythm is even, producing a calm, readable texture in paragraph-like settings.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also support literary or academic headings and pull quotes, delivering a traditional tone without looking overly rigid.
The overall tone feels established and literary, suggesting printed books, editorial typography, and institutions that want a familiar, trustworthy voice. Its softened serifs and rounded joins keep it from feeling severe, adding a warm, approachable seriousness.
The design appears intended as a conventional, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes familiar proportions and comfortable readability, while adding subtle calligraphic shaping to keep the texture lively and refined.
The numerals appear designed to blend with the text style rather than stand out as purely functional figures, matching the serif detailing and stroke shaping seen in the letters. Across the set, the design maintains consistent serif treatment and curve logic, supporting cohesive text color in continuous reading.
