A conventional serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a subtle oldstyle influence in the softly asymmetric, calligraphic feel of curves (notably in the rounds) while maintaining a sturdy, print-oriented structure. Counters are open and proportions are balanced, with a calm rhythm in running text. Terminals tend to be rounded or slightly teardrop-like, and the numerals and capitals carry a composed, bookish presence without exaggerated display details.
Well suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even, traditional serif texture is desirable. It can also support formal communication—reports, academic material, and institutional print—while scaling up cleanly for headings and pull quotes.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking the familiarity of printed books and editorial typography. It reads as dependable and scholarly rather than trendy, with a quiet warmth from its softened joins and moderate contrast.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic familiarity. Its moderate modulation and bracketed serifs aim to deliver a classic printed feel with a touch of oldstyle warmth for comfortable, professional reading.
In text settings the face maintains steady color and clear word shapes, with caps that feel authoritative and lowercase that stays legible at paragraph sizes. The design’s classic serif detailing and restrained contrast help it hold up in longer passages while still offering enough character for headings.
