A traditional serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms show an oldstyle-leaning rhythm with subtly diagonal stress in rounded shapes, moderate apertures, and compact, well-contained counters. Capitals are proportioned for text settings rather than display, with sturdy verticals and restrained detailing, while lowercase forms keep a steady cadence and familiar, readable silhouettes. Numerals appear lining and evenly weighted, matching the text color and overall serif treatment.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading contexts where a familiar serif texture and steady rhythm are desirable. It can also serve for reports, academic materials, and branded communications that benefit from a classic, authoritative typographic tone.
The font conveys a calm, literary tone associated with established print typography. Its measured contrast and classical serif details feel trustworthy and composed, lending a quietly formal voice without becoming ornate or theatrical.
The design appears intended as a conventional, general-purpose text serif: prioritizing legibility, even paragraph color, and a timeless typographic character rooted in classical printing traditions.
Curved joins and softened transitions keep the texture even in paragraphs, and the serifs avoid sharp spikes, contributing to a smooth reading color. The sample text shows stable spacing and consistent stroke behavior that supports continuous reading.
