A conventional serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and moderately modulated stroke contrast. The letterforms show an oldstyle/humanist influence, with soft curves, slightly cupped terminals, and a steady, readable rhythm in text. Proportions feel balanced rather than condensed, with a modest x-height and clear differentiation between round and straight forms. Numerals align with the text color, featuring open curves and traditional serifed construction.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading contexts where a traditional serif texture is desirable. It can also support formal communications, reports, and headings where a classic, established voice is needed without high drama.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed books and editorial typography. Its measured contrast and familiar shapes convey formality and trustworthiness without feeling sharp or overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif with a slightly humanist character—prioritizing comfortable readability, familiar proportions, and a classic printed-page feel.
Counters are open and well-shaped, and spacing appears even in the sample text, producing a stable gray value. Serifs are not rigid slabs; they taper subtly and connect with smooth bracketing, giving the face a warm, traditional texture.
