A classic serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and a gently modulated stroke that suggests calligraphic influence rather than rigid geometry. Proportions feel slightly condensed in the capitals with generous curves and moderated terminals, while the lowercase shows a compact, sturdy rhythm and clear counters. The italic is not shown; the roman letterforms lean on softly sculpted joins, rounded bowls, and subtle thick–thin transitions that stay even across the alphabet and figures. Numerals are text-like in feeling, with traditional shapes and smooth curvature that match the serif detailing.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books, long-form editorial layouts, and academic or institutional materials where a conventional serif voice is preferred. It also scales effectively for headings and pull quotes, keeping a classic texture and strong legibility.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed books, established institutions, and editorial typography. Its details read as refined and familiar rather than flashy, giving text a dependable, composed voice with a hint of warmth.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, conventional text serif with traditional proportions and familiar detailing, prioritizing readability and a balanced page texture. Its restrained contrast and bracketed serifs aim for versatility across paragraphs and display sizes without departing from classic serif norms.
The sample text shows consistent color and spacing in paragraph settings, with capitals that hold presence for headings while remaining cohesive with the lowercase. Curved letters (C, G, S) and round bowls (O, o, e) emphasize smooth, classic contours; diagonals and joins remain controlled and not overly sharp.
