A conventional serif with bracketed wedge serifs and a lively, calligraphy-influenced stroke modulation. The capitals are well-proportioned and slightly compact, with crisp terminals and moderate contrast that becomes more apparent in curved letters. Lowercase forms show humanist shaping and a steady text rhythm, including two‑storey a and g, rounded bowls, and a softly tapered shoulder on n and m. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a traditional text color.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also support formal documents, academic material, and refined branding that benefits from a familiar, print-rooted feel.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed books and established editorial typography. Its contrast and refined serifs give it a formal, trustworthy voice without feeling overly sharp or modern.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that balances refinement with readability. Oldstyle numerals and humanist details suggest an emphasis on comfortable continuous reading and a classic typographic palette.
Curves are smooth and slightly generous, while diagonals (like V, W, and Y) keep crisp junctions for clarity. The spacing in the samples reads even and comfortable at text sizes, producing a calm, continuous line without excessive sparkle.
