A traditional serif with bracketed, lightly flared serifs and softly modulated strokes. Curves are generous and round, with a steady rhythm and slightly calligraphic construction that shows in the tapered terminals and angled joins. Proportions feel moderately narrow-to-moderate with compact lowercase and a comparatively short x-height; ascenders rise cleanly and capitals are stately without being overly wide. Numerals and lowercase forms maintain a consistent texture suited to continuous reading, with subtly irregular widths across glyphs that keep the line lively rather than rigid.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial, and literature-focused layouts where an even text color and familiar serif rhythm aid readability. It can also support heritage-leaning branding, institutional communications, and display-sized headings when a classic, cultivated voice is desired.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, projecting a measured, literary voice. It feels refined and calm, with a touch of humanist warmth that reads as trustworthy and established rather than flashy.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif with a subtly humanist, calligraphic flavor—prioritizing an even reading texture while retaining enough detail in serifs and terminals to feel crafted and traditional.
The italic is not shown; the sample text suggests a slightly lively baseline texture from varied glyph widths and tapered finishing strokes. The capital forms have a dignified presence, while the lowercase keeps a smooth, even color in paragraph settings.
