A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a gently calligraphic modulation that gives strokes a subtly chiseled finish. Capitals are broad and steady with clear, open counters, while the lowercase shows a rounded, oldstyle-leaning rhythm with softly swelling curves and slightly flared terminals. The joins and foot serifs tend to be angled rather than square, producing a crisp, engraved feel without becoming brittle. Numerals follow the same sturdy, book-oriented construction, with smooth curves and confident horizontal alignment.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, reports, and other editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and steady readability are priorities. It can also serve effectively for headings and pull quotes that benefit from a traditional, literary tone without looking ornate.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, evoking traditional publishing, academic settings, and editorial typography. It feels dependable and formal, with a quiet authority that suits long-form reading and institutionally flavored design.
The design appears intended as a reliable, conventional text serif with enough calligraphic shaping to feel warm and established, aiming for a timeless reading experience rather than a sharp display personality.
Spacing appears comfortable and even in the paragraph sample, supporting a consistent text color at larger sizes. The design balances clarity with a modest amount of character in the terminals and serifs, giving it a slightly humanist, print-like texture.
