A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a gently calligraphic, oldstyle construction. Strokes show moderate modulation with softened joins, giving the outlines an organic, slightly written feel rather than a rigid, geometric one. Proportions are traditional: a relatively small x-height, ample ascenders and descenders, and round forms that stay open in the counters. The character set reads evenly in text, with a calm rhythm and lightly varied letter widths that keep words from looking mechanically uniform.
This face is well suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and steady texture are desired. It can also serve comfortably for academic or institutional materials, and for headings or pull quotes when set with a bit of extra size and spacing.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting editorial seriousness with a touch of warmth. Its softened modulation and friendly curves keep it from feeling austere, making it suited to traditional, readable typography rather than sharp display impact.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, traditional reading serif with gentle calligraphic cues—prioritizing comfortable texture, clear word shapes, and a familiar typographic voice for extended text.
In the sample text, the serif detailing remains clear without appearing overly sharp, and the spacing supports continuous reading. Numerals follow the same oldstyle-leaning, serifed logic as the letters, helping mixed text-and-number settings feel cohesive.
