This serif features bracketed, gently tapered serifs and softly modulated strokes that keep texture even across longer lines. Capitals are stately and open, with round forms that read generously and a slightly calligraphic liveliness in curves and joins. Lowercase shows a balanced, readable rhythm: a two-storey “g,” compact bowls, and sturdy stems, with terminals that end in subtle wedges rather than sharp hairlines. Numerals are proportionate and clear, with smooth curves and consistent spacing that supports text settings.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also support headings and pull quotes, especially when you want a conservative, established voice rather than a modernist tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting tradition and editorial seriousness without feeling overly ornate. It conveys a calm authority suited to narrative or informational content, with a familiar, comfortable color on the page.
The font appears designed as a conventional text serif that prioritizes clarity and familiar forms, aiming for dependable readability and a timeless typographic presence in print-like layouts and long-form content.
The design maintains a steady baseline and consistent serif treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping paragraphs look cohesive. Curved letters show controlled, slightly softened transitions, which reduces harshness at display sizes while remaining crisp in text.
