A serif text face with softly bracketed serifs, tapered stroke endings, and an organic, slightly calligraphic modulation. The capitals are stately and open, with moderate-to-wide proportions and gently flaring terminals that keep the color lively rather than rigid. Lowercase forms show compact vertical proportions with a modest x-height, rounded joins, and clear differentiation between bowls and stems; counters remain open enough for continuous reading. Numerals follow the same old-style rhythm, with curving strokes and subtle tapering that keeps figures consistent with the text color.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial typography, and other text-forward layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively for chapter titles, pull quotes, and formal printed materials that benefit from a classic, cultivated tone without feeling overly mechanical.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting printed book tradition and editorial polish. Its gentle stroke taper and warm proportions read as approachable and human, while the crisp serifs and controlled modulation maintain a refined, authoritative presence.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional print typography through calligraphic-influenced shaping, bracketed serifs, and a steady reading rhythm. It aims to balance refinement and warmth, producing a composed text color that feels at home in literary and editorial contexts.
In the sample text, the face maintains a slightly lively texture—strokes and spacing create a rhythmic, page-like color rather than a rigid grid. The italic is not shown; the displayed style relies on upright forms with subtle calligraphic nuance for character.
