A conventional text serif with bracketed, sharp serifs and a gently modulated stroke. The capitals show balanced proportions and clean, classical construction, with rounded forms kept steady and verticals reading crisp. Lowercase shapes are moderate in size with open counters and a slightly calligraphic flow, visible in the ear and terminals of letters like g, a, and y. Numerals are oldstyle-like in feel with varied heights and a subtly traditional rhythm, supporting continuous reading rather than rigid, geometric uniformity.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It can also serve in headings, captions, and formal collateral when a classic, understated voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its restrained contrast and familiar forms communicate seriousness and credibility without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional serif for continuous text, prioritizing legibility and a calm typographic color while retaining subtle, humanist detailing in terminals and curves.
Diagonal joins and arm/leg details (e.g., K, R, k) are cut with a crisp, slightly tapered finish, helping keep the texture lively at larger sizes. Curves stay smooth and evenly weighted, and spacing appears designed for coherent word shapes in running text.
