A conventional serif with bracketed wedge serifs and gently tapered strokes that suggest a restrained, calligraphic influence. Curves are round and open, terminals are neatly finished, and the overall rhythm is even and calm. Capitals are well-proportioned and authoritative, while the lowercase shows a familiar book-face structure with a two-storey a and g, compact joins, and clear counters. Numerals follow the same traditional construction, with moderate modulation and sturdy, readable forms.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits reports, institutional communications, and other contexts that benefit from a conservative, established typographic voice.
The font reads as classic and literary, evoking printed books, academic writing, and editorial typography. Its tone is composed and trustworthy rather than attention-seeking, with a quietly formal presence that supports long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar shapes, steady proportions, and measured contrast aimed at comfortable readability and a timeless, print-informed character.
Stroke contrast is noticeable but not sharp, keeping letterforms stable at text sizes. The serifs are pronounced enough to guide horizontal flow without feeling decorative, and spacing appears balanced in the text sample, maintaining a steady line color across sentences.
