A classical serif with bracketed serifs, softly modulated strokes, and a gently calligraphic rhythm. Curves show a subtle diagonal stress, while serifs taper with a slightly cupped, wedge-like feel rather than blunt slabs. Proportions are moderately compact with steady color in text, and the lowercase features open counters and rounded joins that keep paragraphs readable. The figures appear old-style, with varied heights and several descending forms, reinforcing the text-centric character.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even typographic color matters. It can also support institutional communication, reports, and classic branding that benefits from a familiar, traditional serif voice.
The tone is bookish and traditional, projecting familiarity and steadiness rather than sharp modernity. Its warm modulation and slightly informal, human touch give it an inviting presence suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif authority with a humane, calligraphy-informed warmth, prioritizing comfortable readability and a calm page rhythm for extended text.
Uppercase forms feel dignified but not rigid, with gently flared strokes and smooth transitions into serifs. The overall finish is slightly soft at the terminals, avoiding brittle hairlines and keeping contrast controlled for consistent texture.
