A conventional serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms show soft, calligraphic shaping in curves and terminals, with rounded joins and a steady baseline rhythm. Counters are open and well-proportioned, and capitals feel sturdy and traditional with balanced widths and calm proportions. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same restrained, text-forward texture, with rounded forms and subtly tapered strokes that keep paragraphs even and legible.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading contexts where an even texture and familiar serif structure help maintain comfort and clarity. It can also serve formal documents and scholarly materials that benefit from a classic, established voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed books and editorial typography rather than display styling. Its warm, slightly oldstyle flavor adds a human touch while remaining formal and dependable for continuous reading.
The design appears intended as a reliable, traditional text serif: comfortable in paragraphs, conservative in structure, and subtly warm in detailing. Its emphasis is on consistent rhythm and readability rather than decorative personality.
Details like the softly bracketed serifs, modest stroke modulation, and rounded terminals create an even grayscale and reduce sharpness in dense text. The design avoids extreme quirks, keeping the set cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
