A conventional serif with delicate, bracketed serifs and subtly tapered strokes that suggest a calligraphic influence rather than a purely constructed geometry. Curves are open and softly modeled, with moderate roundness in bowls and a slightly lively, handwritten rhythm across text. Uppercase forms are stately and relatively narrow, while lowercase shows compact proportions with a notably short x-height, giving ascenders and capitals more visual prominence. Terminals are crisp and lightly flared, and the overall color stays even without feeling rigid.
Well-suited to editorial and book typography where a traditional serif tone is desired, especially for literary material, essays, and reading-oriented layouts. It can also serve formal communication pieces such as programs or invitations, where a restrained, classic voice and refined detailing are appropriate.
The face conveys a bookish, classical tone—measured and polite, with a quiet elegance rather than dramatic flourish. Its small-scale detailing and compact lowercase lend it a scholarly, editorial voice reminiscent of traditional printing and literary typography.
The design appears intended as a traditional text serif with a gentle, oldstyle-inflected rhythm—prioritizing readability and a cultivated page color while adding subtle calligraphic nuance in serifs and terminals.
In the sample text, the tight lowercase height and fine serifs make spacing and line rhythm feel airy and refined, while punctuation and numerals appear similarly restrained and text-oriented. The design reads as carefully mannered, with subtle variation in stroke shaping that keeps long passages from feeling mechanical.
