A conventional text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a gently calligraphic, oldstyle construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions, and many terminals taper into subtly angled or flared endings rather than blunt cuts. Proportions lean toward a compact lowercase with a relatively short x-height and prominent ascenders, while capitals feel stately and slightly varied in width. Numerals appear oldstyle in spirit, with varying widths and curving forms that echo the text rhythm.
Well suited to long-form reading in print contexts such as books, journals, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and steady rhythm are desired. It can also support formal headings and pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing, especially in literature-leaning or institutional designs.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, suggesting credibility and restraint rather than display flamboyance. Its warm, slightly hand-influenced details add a human, literary character that reads as established and refined.
The design appears aimed at a dependable, traditional reading experience: a serif that feels rooted in historical book typography while maintaining a clean, contemporary regularity for everyday text setting.
Curved letters show a soft, rounded stress and gentle modulation, and the italic-like liveliness comes through in details such as the angled joins and tapered strokes. The uppercase includes a decorative swash-like tail on the Q, adding a small touch of classic elegance without breaking the text-serious feel.
