A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, soft joins, and a gently calligraphic modulation. Strokes show moderate contrast with rounded terminals and slightly tapered horizontals, creating a smooth, even texture in paragraphs. Proportions feel balanced and traditionally book-oriented, with open counters and clear, well-spaced forms that read comfortably at text sizes. Figures appear lining with oldstyle influence in their curves and terminals, maintaining the same quiet rhythm as the letters.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books and essays, as well as editorial layouts in magazines and newspapers. It also fits formal documents, academic or institutional materials, and brand systems that want a traditional serif voice with reliable readability.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a composed, editorial polish. Its restrained detailing and steady rhythm suggest seriousness and credibility without feeling stark or mechanical. The design reads as familiar and institutional in a positive way—suited to contexts that benefit from tradition and clarity.
The font appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar, time-tested voice. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs aim to produce a stable, comfortable line in continuous text while still offering enough refinement for headings and pull quotes.
The uppercase has a stately presence with clean, symmetrical construction, while the lowercase carries the warmth through rounded shapes and subtle entry/exit strokes. Curves and serifs stay consistent across the set, producing a cohesive color in running text and a confident look in larger sizes.
