A traditional serif with bracketed, softly tapered serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a humanist, slightly calligraphic construction: curves are gently swelling, joins are smooth, and terminals often finish with subtle hooks or flares. Proportions feel balanced and readable, with open internal spaces and a steady rhythm; the lowercase has rounded bowls and a moderate x-height, while capitals carry a slightly engraved, bookish presence. Figures appear text-friendly, with oldstyle-style movement and varied widths that keep the texture lively in running copy.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form reading, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture improves comfort and hierarchy. It can also work for academic or cultural materials, captions, and pull quotes where a traditional, warm serif presence is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed books and editorial typography rather than a strictly modern, neutral voice. Its gentle modulation and slightly expressive terminals add warmth and a touch of formality without feeling rigid or ceremonial.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability while retaining a lightly calligraphic, humanist character. Its moderated contrast and bracketed serifs aim for dependable performance in paragraphs, with enough personality to avoid looking purely mechanical.
The design’s liveliness comes from small asymmetries and tapered strokes—noticeable in characters like the italic-like energy of the S curves, the hooked descenders, and the subtly varied widths across the alphabet—producing a textured, comfortable paragraph color.
