A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle construction. Curves are full and open, with rounded terminals and smooth joins that keep counters generous. The uppercase shows sturdy proportions and confident, classic shapes, while the lowercase carries a readable, text-oriented rhythm with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a softly curved “f,” and a moderate, even color across lines. Numerals follow the same traditional model, with clear contrast and comfortable spacing that supports continuous reading.
Well suited for body text in books, long-form editorial, and magazine typography where a steady, traditional reading texture is needed. It also works effectively for headings, institutional materials, and brand systems that benefit from a conservative, trustworthy serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting printed pages, established institutions, and editorial credibility. It feels composed and familiar rather than attention-seeking, with a warm, humanist undercurrent that keeps it approachable.
The font appears designed as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes familiar forms, consistent rhythm, and comfortable readability. Its restrained contrast and bracketed serifs aim to deliver dependable performance across paragraphs and display sizes without departing from conventional typographic expectations.
The design maintains consistent serif treatment and stroke modulation across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a stable texture in paragraph settings. Round letters retain strong vertical stress, and the heavier serif presence lends a slightly authoritative, newspaper-and-book sensibility.
