A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, upright posture. Letterforms show open counters and clear apertures, with gently flared joins and crisp, tapered terminals that keep the texture clean at text sizes. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a readable rhythm with slightly calligraphic curvature in bowls and shoulders. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and a smooth, bookish flow that matches the text color.
Well-suited for book interiors, essays, magazines, and other editorial contexts where sustained readability and a traditional tone are desired. It can also serve formal communications and institutional materials that benefit from a familiar, trustworthy serif presence.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting a composed, editorial confidence. Its refined detailing and restrained contrast suggest a cultivated, formal voice without feeling brittle or overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for fluent reading, combining classical proportions with restrained contrast and carefully bracketed serifs to maintain an even, comfortable typographic color.
The forms balance crispness and warmth: serifs feel sculpted rather than mechanical, and curves remain round and calm. The sample paragraph shows consistent spacing and an even gray value, supporting comfortable continuous reading.
