A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes that create an even, readable texture. The letterforms show subtle calligraphic influence: curved joins, softened terminals, and modest stroke modulation without sharp extremes. Proportions are balanced and slightly narrow in places, with compact counters and a steady rhythm across mixed-case text. Numerals follow the same restrained, traditional styling, maintaining consistent weight and clear silhouettes.
Well-suited to body copy in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a steady serif texture supports comfortable reading. It also fits academic and institutional materials, reports, and other print-forward applications that benefit from a traditional, well-mannered typographic voice.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, with a composed, editorial presence. Its restrained detailing and familiar proportions suggest tradition and authority rather than novelty, lending a calm, trustworthy voice to long-form reading and formal communication.
Designed to provide a familiar, dependable text serif that prioritizes clarity and a measured rhythm, while adding gentle warmth through bracketed serifs and subtle modulation.
Curves and diagonals resolve with rounded, slightly flared endings, avoiding brittle hairlines. The mixed-case sample reads smoothly at text sizes, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and a stable baseline feel.
