A conventional serif with bracketed, slightly wedge-like serifs and a moderate stroke contrast that reads clearly at text sizes. Curves are generously rounded and the joins feel softly modeled rather than sharply mechanical, giving the design a warm, oldstyle-leaning color on the page. Proportions are steady and traditional, with sturdy capitals, open counters, and a slightly diagonal stress visible in rounded forms. The lowercase shows a double-storey “a” and “g,” a compact, rhythm-friendly texture, and a “t” with a gently curved terminal and a concise crossbar.
Well-suited to body copy in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and dependable readability are priorities. It also fits formal communications such as reports, essays, and institutional documents, and can scale up for headlines when a traditional, literary tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting editorial seriousness without feeling cold. Its soft bracketing and rounded modeling add a quiet, approachable warmth suited to long-form reading and traditional publishing contexts.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif: comfortable in extended reading, conservative in detail, and shaped to deliver an even rhythm and clear letter differentiation in paragraphs.
Figures appear lining and well-balanced, with varied shapes that aid distinction (notably the open “4,” rounded “3,” and a “2” with a clear foot). Uppercase forms are strong and conventional, while the lowercase keeps a steady, even cadence that produces a consistent typographic gray.
