This serif typeface features bracketed, softly flared serifs and moderate stroke contrast, with a gentle, slightly calligraphic modulation throughout. Capitals are sturdy and traditional, with rounded joins and subtly tapered terminals that keep the texture even in display sizes. The lowercase shows an oldstyle leaning construction with a two-storey a, a double-storey g, open apertures, and a flowing italic-like rhythm despite remaining upright. Numerals and punctuation share the same softened serif treatment, giving text a cohesive, bookish color on the page.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It can also support refined branding, pull quotes, and section headings, especially in contexts aiming for a traditional, credible voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking editorial typography and traditional print. Its softened edges and modest contrast feel approachable rather than formal, suggesting reliability and readability with a hint of warmth.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif with classic proportions and subtly lively detailing. It balances familiar book-type structure with softened terminals to remain comfortable and personable in extended text.
The serifs are pronounced without becoming sharp, and many terminals end in slight teardrop or wedge-like shapes that add character in headlines while maintaining a steady text rhythm. Letterforms read cleanly in continuous sample text, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and a comfortable spacing cadence.
