A traditional serif with softly bracketed, subtly flared terminals and moderate stroke modulation. Curves are generously rounded and the serifs feel carved rather than mechanical, with a calm, even texture in text. Capitals are sturdy and balanced, while the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies—noticeable two‑storey forms and gently tapered strokes that keep counters open. Numerals sit comfortably with the text, matching the same restrained contrast and serif treatment.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and magazine typography where a classic serif texture and dependable readability are needed. It also works for institutional or cultural branding, as well as pull quotes and headings that benefit from a refined, traditional presence.
The overall tone is bookish and authoritative, with a warm, humanist undercurrent. It reads as timeless and cultivated rather than trendy, lending a composed and trustworthy voice to headlines and paragraphs alike.
Likely designed to provide a familiar, literature-oriented serif voice with gentle calligraphic cues and flared finishing, aiming for readability and elegance across both display lines and extended text.
In running text the rhythm is steady and moderately spaced, producing a dark-but-controlled color that suits long reading. The flared stroke behavior is most evident at ends of verticals and in curved joins, adding subtle personality without becoming decorative.
