A classic serif with softly bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes that keep contrast present but restrained. Letterforms show humanist, calligraphy-informed shaping: rounded joins, subtle tapering into terminals, and a slightly varied, lively rhythm across the set. The lowercase is compact and readable with open counters and sturdy stems, while capitals feel stately and slightly narrow in presence, with clean, controlled curves (notably in C, G, O, and Q). Numerals are old-style in feel, with mixed proportions and curved strokes that harmonize with the text color.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where consistent texture and comfortable spacing are priorities. It can also serve for headings and pull quotes when a classic, literary voice is desired without overly high contrast.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, conveying a calm, trustworthy voice with a touch of warmth. It reads as established and cultured rather than sharp or technical, suited to settings where quiet authority and readability matter.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable old-style reading face with humanist warmth—balancing traditional proportions and familiar serif structure with subtle, calligraphic detailing to maintain a natural flow on the page.
Serif shapes are not rigid or geometric; they flare and taper in a way that suggests pen-influenced construction. The italic is not shown, and the roman maintains an even, comfortable color in paragraph text, with distinctive, slightly expressive details (such as the Q tail and the varied stroke endings) that keep it from feeling generic.
