A conventional serif with gently bracketed serifs and softly flared stroke terminals. The outlines show moderate modulation and a slightly calligraphic rhythm, with rounded joins and subtly cupped end shapes that keep the texture from feeling sharp or mechanical. Capitals are sturdy and open, while the lowercase has a comfortable, readable build with clear counters and softly shaped shoulders. Numerals are old-style–leaning in feel, with rounded curves and distinctive terminals that harmonize with the text face.
Well suited to body copy in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired without stiffness. It can also serve comfortably for captions, pull quotes, and general-purpose print or web text where a warm, familiar reading texture is important.
The tone is bookish and approachable, combining classical serif familiarity with a mild, human touch. It feels comfortable and trustworthy rather than formal, lending a quiet warmth to longer passages and editorial settings.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that balances classical structure with gentle, humanized detailing. Its softened terminals and moderate contrast aim to keep long reading comfortable while adding a subtle, distinctive flavor.
At text sizes the face creates an even, steady color, with serifs and terminals contributing a slightly handwritten softness. The overall impression favors readability and personality over strict geometric regularity.
