A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, softly tapered strokes, and moderate, book-oriented contrast. Curves are generously rounded and the joins feel slightly calligraphic, giving the outlines an organic rhythm rather than a rigid, geometric one. Proportions are balanced and text-centric, with sturdy capitals, readable lowercase forms, and smooth transitions in bowls and shoulders. Numerals follow the same oldstyle-inspired modeling, with rounded terminals and a calm, even color in running text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and comfortable texture are desired. It can also support headings and subheads when a traditional, established tone is needed without resorting to high-contrast display styling.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed books and editorial typography. It reads as cultivated and dependable, with a gentle warmth that keeps it from feeling overly sharp or austere.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable text serif that prioritizes familiarity, smooth rhythm, and comfortable paragraph color. Its slightly oldstyle, calligraphic modeling suggests an aim toward warm, bookish typography rather than modernist precision.
Serifs are generally wedge-like with subtle bracketing, and terminals tend toward rounded or slightly flared finishes. The face maintains a consistent rhythm across the alphabet, supporting comfortable word shapes and a steady baseline presence in paragraphs.
