A traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and moderate stroke contrast. The capitals show gently flared strokes and a subtly calligraphic construction, with rounded joins and a calm, even rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact with a relatively short x-height and clear differentiation between stems, bowls, and serifs; counters stay open and the overall texture reads smooth rather than sparkly. Numerals and punctuation follow the same restrained, classic detailing, keeping a consistent text color across mixed-case settings.
Well suited for book interiors, essays, and other longform reading where a steady rhythm and familiar serif structure help maintain comfort. It also performs nicely for magazine and editorial layouts, chapter titles, and pull quotes when paired with generous leading and thoughtful spacing.
The tone is classical and literary, suggesting printed book typography and formal editorial settings. It feels composed and slightly historic, with an understated elegance rather than a contemporary, geometric crispness.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with subtle oldstyle cues—prioritizing readability, a smooth page texture, and a quietly distinguished voice that works across both body copy and restrained headings.
Curves exhibit a mild diagonal stress, and the serifs are shaped to support continuous reading with soft transitions into stems. The overall proportions favor clarity and tradition over display exuberance, while still providing enough character in capitals and key letters to stand out in headings.
