A classic text serif with bracketed wedge serifs and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms show oldstyle influences: rounded bowls with subtle diagonal stress, a modest x-height, and slightly tapered terminals that soften the overall texture. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and stately, while the lowercase maintains an even rhythm with open counters and clear joins. Numerals appear text-friendly and consistent in color, with familiar, readable shapes suited to continuous reading.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a conventional serif texture is desirable. It also fits reports, academic material, and other settings that benefit from a dignified, familiar voice while remaining clear at typical text sizes.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish tone—measured and trustworthy rather than showy. Its restrained contrast and softly shaped serifs suggest an editorial, academic sensibility with a quiet elegance.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose serif for sustained text, emphasizing readability and a traditional typographic color. Subtle modulation and bracketed serifs add refinement without pushing into decorative territory.
In paragraph settings the spacing and proportions produce a steady, comfortable line flow, with crisp punctuation and a composed overall color. The design balances firmness in the verticals with slightly calligraphic details in curved strokes, giving it a polished but approachable character.
