A traditional serif with bracketed serifs and softly sculpted stroke endings. The letterforms show moderate stroke modulation with rounded transitions, giving the texture a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle feel rather than a crisp modern one. Capitals are broad and steady, with sturdy verticals and gently flared terminals, while lowercase forms are open and readable with rounded bowls and a two‑storey “a.” Numerals follow the same rhythm, with smooth curves and a balanced, text-friendly presence.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its traditional proportions and steady rhythm support comfortable text setting. It also fits formal communications such as reports and institutional materials, and can lend a classic tone to branding when used in headlines or short passages.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting established print conventions and a confident, formal voice. Its warm shaping and moderate contrast keep it approachable, lending a composed, editorial character rather than an austere one.
The design appears intended as a conventional, dependable text serif that prioritizes readability and familiar typographic color, while adding a touch of warmth through softly modeled joins and bracketed serifs.
The rhythm on lines of text reads even and solid, with generous curves and clear interior counters that help maintain clarity at typical text sizes. Serifs appear consistently bracketed and slightly softened, contributing to a cohesive, traditional page color.
