A conventional serif with gently bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and softly rounded joins that keep the color even in text. Curves are full and slightly oval, counters are open, and terminals often finish with a subtle flare rather than a sharp cut. The drawing shows a lightly textured, hand-pressed feel—most noticeable at serifs and stroke ends—adding a faintly irregular edge without disrupting overall consistency. Capitals are sturdy and readable, while lowercase forms maintain a steady rhythm with clear ascenders/descenders and comfortable spacing.
Best suited to body copy and editorial typography where a familiar serif rhythm supports sustained reading. It also works well for book interiors, magazine articles, and other text-forward layouts that benefit from a traditional voice with a hint of print texture.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a calm, trustworthy presence suited to long-form reading. Its slightly lived-in, inked texture introduces a touch of warmth and craft, evoking printed pages and editorial traditions rather than a glossy contemporary voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable text serif that prioritizes readability and established typographic conventions, while adding a restrained, tactile print-like character through softened terminals and subtle edge texture.
In the sample text, the font holds together well across mixed case with good differentiation between similar shapes (for example, the numeral and letter forms), and the punctuation and numerals carry the same serifed, softly finished character. The faint roughness at edges can become more apparent at larger sizes, where it reads as intentional texture.
