A sturdy serif with clearly bracketed terminals and a subtly calligraphic, old-style skeleton. Strokes show gentle modulation and slightly softened joins, producing a lively texture rather than a mechanical rhythm. Counters are moderately open, with compact proportions and a firm baseline presence; capitals feel weighty and stable while the lowercase retains a mild, handwritten inflection. Figures are traditional and solid, with rounded forms and consistent spacing suited to continuous reading.
Well-suited to long-form text such as books, essays, and magazine articles where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve in headlines and identity work when a traditional, authoritative feel is needed, especially for cultural, academic, or heritage-leaning contexts.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed books, editorial typography, and institutional materials. Its warm, slightly irregular serif shaping adds a humanist confidence that feels established and trustworthy rather than sleek or contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, conventional reading experience with a touch of old-style character—balancing sturdy structure and moderate modulation to remain comfortable in paragraphs while still offering distinctive, traditional personality.
The serifs are neither hairline nor slabby, and the curved letterforms show modest flare and bracketing that helps maintain continuity across text sizes. In the sample paragraph, the face maintains an even color with a slightly energetic rhythm that keeps it from looking sterile.
