A crisp text serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and gently modulated strokes that give the letterforms a subtly calligraphic rhythm. Capitals are proportioned with a classical feel—wide, open bowls and clean, symmetrical construction—while lowercase forms show rounded terminals, a two-storey “g,” and compact, readable counters. Curves are smooth and slightly softened at joins, and spacing feels even and measured, producing a calm, consistent texture in paragraph settings. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and descenders that blend naturally into running text.
Well-suited to book typography and other long-form reading, where its steady rhythm and moderated contrast maintain clarity across paragraphs. It also fits editorial layouts—magazines, essays, and reports—where a classic serif voice helps structure hierarchy and lends credibility.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting authority without feeling heavy. It reads as composed and cultured, suited to content that benefits from a quiet, established voice.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for continuous reading, combining traditional proportions with clean, modern drawing. Its oldstyle numerals and restrained detailing suggest a focus on harmonious integration in prose and editorial typography rather than display-driven eccentricity.
The design balances crisp edges with gently rounded details, keeping small features from looking brittle. Diacritics and punctuation in the sample maintain the same restrained, editorial character, supporting sustained reading.
