A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, softly flared terminals, and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a gently calligraphic undercurrent—curves transition smoothly into stems and serifs rather than snapping into sharp corners. Counters are fairly open and the overall texture is even, with sturdy verticals and rounded bowls; the uppercase feels stately without becoming stiff. The lowercase has traditional proportions and readable shapes, including a two-storey a and g, a compact ear, and a slightly tapered, upright rhythm.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other text-forward contexts where steady rhythm and comfortable readability matter. It can also serve for formal documents, essays, and captions where a traditional serif voice is desired without heavy ornamentation.
The font reads as traditional and literary, with a calm, composed tone suited to long-form reading. Its softened serifing and moderated contrast give it a polite, established feel—more classic than trendy, and more editorial than decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classical text serif that prioritizes legibility and an established typographic voice. Its moderated contrast and bracketed serifs suggest an aim for comfortable reading texture and a familiar, authoritative presence in print-like settings.
Numerals follow an oldstyle approach with varied heights, helping them sit naturally in text. The round forms (O, o, 0) are smooth and balanced, while diagonals (V, W, Y) remain crisp without looking overly sharp; spacing appears tuned for continuous text rather than display tightness.
