A classic text serif with gently bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a softly calligraphic rhythm. The capitals are stately and open, with curved joins and tapered terminals that keep the texture crisp without feeling sharp. Lowercase forms show oldstyle influences—most notably a two-storey a and g, a diagonal stress in rounded letters, and a slightly organic, pen-driven shaping. Numerals and punctuation sit comfortably alongside the letters, contributing to an even, bookish color in paragraph settings.
Well suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desirable. It also fits formal documents, reports, and academic material that benefits from a conservative, credible typographic tone.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking printed literature and established editorial typography. Its restrained contrast and humanist warmth read as confident rather than decorative, lending a cultured, trustworthy voice to long-form text and formal communication.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text face that prioritizes comfortable readability while retaining a distinctly classic, literary character. Its measured contrast and bracketed serifs aim for a polished, print-oriented appearance without overt stylization.
Stroke endings are clean and controlled, with subtle tapering that avoids bluntness while maintaining clarity. The design balances readability with refinement, producing a steady line rhythm and consistent spacing that supports continuous reading.
