A classic serif with bracketed, softly flared serifs and gently modulated strokes. Curves are smooth and generously drawn, with rounded terminals on several lowercase forms and a slightly calligraphic stress that gives the face an oldstyle flavor. Proportions lean toward a compact lowercase (short x-height) with relatively tall ascenders, while capitals feel stately and evenly weighted. The rhythm is steady and text-forward, with clear counters and a moderate, traditional contrast that stays comfortable in continuous reading.
Well suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also support academic or cultural branding, invitations, and headings that benefit from an established, traditional voice without requiring high ornamentation.
The font conveys a literary, established tone—traditional without feeling overly ornate. Its calm modulation and familiar proportions read as trustworthy and cultured, suggesting books, institutions, and editorial environments rather than display novelty.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented serif that balances classical proportions with gentle stroke modulation for comfortable readability. It aims to deliver a familiar, authoritative typographic color with enough warmth to feel human rather than mechanical.
The numerals appear traditional and proportional, matching the text color and serif logic of the letters. Overall spacing and shapes prioritize readability, producing a smooth, even texture in paragraph settings while retaining a slightly warm, humanist character in the lowercase.
