A traditional serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show soft, calligraphic shaping with rounded joins and subtly tapered terminals, giving the strokes a slightly organic rhythm rather than a rigid geometric feel. Proportions are comfortably spacious, with sturdy capitals, open counters, and a lowercase that reads clearly in continuous text; figures appear lining with similarly even color and weight.
Well suited to book typography, long-form reading, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture and comfortable spacing support legibility. It also works effectively for headings and pull quotes when a classic, traditional tone is desired in print or on-screen.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, evoking printed literature and established editorial typography. Its soft modulation and rounded details add warmth and approachability while maintaining a formal, conventional voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif with enough calligraphic nuance to feel warm and literary, prioritizing consistent paragraph color and comfortable readability over display eccentricities.
The typeface keeps a steady, even texture in paragraphs, with clear differentiation between similar forms (such as I/l/1 and O/0) aided by serifs and distinct contours. Several characters feature subtly curved or lightly hooked terminals, contributing to a slightly humanist, historically influenced impression without becoming ornate.
