A classic text serif with clear stroke modulation and bracketed serifs, combining crisp horizontals with gently tapered joins. Proportions feel traditional and slightly varied across letters, with moderate spacing and a steady baseline rhythm that reads comfortably in continuous text. Lowercase forms show open apertures and rounded bowls, while ascenders are relatively tall and the terminals often end in subtle, teardrop-like or ball-shaped finishes that add character without becoming ornamental.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture and reliable readability are priorities. It can also serve for formal headings, pull quotes, and classic branding applications that benefit from a traditional, refined voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a calm authority typical of book typography. Subtle calligraphic cues and rounded terminals lend a slightly warm, human feel, balancing formality with approachability.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif for extended text, pairing a time-tested structure with restrained personality in the terminals and modulation to keep pages lively without distracting from content.
Uppercase letters maintain a dignified, conventional structure, while the lowercase introduces more personality through softened terminals and curved details (notably in letters like a, g, j, and y). Numerals follow the same serifed, modulated logic and align visually with the text, supporting long-form settings.
