A classic serif with bracketed, gently tapered serifs and moderate stroke modulation that suggests a broad-nib influence. The letterforms show softly rounded joins and slightly organic curves, with a steady, even rhythm across text. Capitals are stately and open, while lowercase forms maintain clear counters and a comfortable, bookish texture; numerals follow the same restrained, traditional styling.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, essays, magazines, and academic or cultural publishing. It also fits institutional and professional communication—reports, brochures, and branding that needs a traditional, credible serif. In larger sizes it can serve for headings, pull quotes, and refined packaging or invitations where a classic tone is desired.
This typeface feels literary and cultivated, with a calm, traditional voice suited to long-form reading. Its tone is warm and approachable rather than austere, projecting quiet authority without seeming rigid or overly formal.
The design appears intended for comfortable continuous reading, combining classical proportions with subtle calligraphic modeling to keep the page color lively but controlled. It aims to be versatile and familiar, offering a dependable serif voice that remains graceful at display sizes while staying composed in paragraphs.
Serifs and terminals lean toward softly curved, humanist endings rather than sharp, mechanical cuts, helping maintain a smooth reading flow. The overall spacing and proportions produce a stable text block with clear differentiation between characters.
