A conventional serif with bracketed, gently tapered serifs and a calm, text-oriented rhythm. Strokes show moderate-to-higher contrast with a slightly calligraphic feel, including diagonal stress in rounded letters and softened joins rather than sharp, geometric terminals. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, open interior counters, and slightly varying letter widths that help the line color stay even in paragraph settings. Numerals appear oldstyle (ranging with ascenders/descenders), matching the lowercase texture and reinforcing a bookish tone.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, long-form editorial, and magazine typography where a familiar serif texture and clear hierarchy are needed. It also fits reports, essays, and formal communication that benefit from a traditional, composed appearance in both display sizes and body text.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a restrained formality suited to traditional reading environments. Its contrast and serif shaping convey refinement and authority without looking overly ornate, making it feel familiar and trustworthy on the page.
Designed to function as a dependable, conventional text serif: readable at length, comfortable in paragraphs, and capable of delivering a classic editorial voice. The moderated contrast and bracketed serifs suggest an intention to balance elegance with everyday usability.
Uppercase forms are crisp and stately, while the lowercase shows gentle modulation and rounded details that keep long text from feeling rigid. Curves (C, G, O, Q) and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) retain clean endings and consistent serif treatment, supporting a coherent, traditional typographic voice.
