A moderately contrasted serif with bracketed serifs and softly modeled strokes that suggest a pen-influenced construction. The proportions feel traditional, with generous counters and a steady rhythm that reads smoothly in continuous text. Terminals are rounded and slightly tapered rather than abrupt, and the serifs are sturdy without becoming slab-like. Uppercase forms appear restrained and balanced, while the lowercase shows gently varied shapes (notably in the curved letters and the two-storey forms), supporting a comfortable text texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, articles, and editorial layouts where an even, comfortable text color is important. It can also serve effectively for formal documents and academic or institutional materials that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a warm, human presence rather than a rigid, mechanical feel. It evokes familiar editorial typography—serious and trustworthy—while retaining a subtle softness that keeps it approachable.
The design appears intended as a readable, broadly useful text serif that channels old-style, calligraphic influences for warmth and familiarity while maintaining enough structure for clean, dependable typography.
In the sample text, spacing and sidebearings create an even gray value, with clear differentiation between similar characters and stable baseline behavior. Numerals appear lining and serifed, matching the letterforms’ modeled contrast and traditional styling.
