A traditional serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and moderate stroke modulation that gives the forms a subtly calligraphic feel. The proportions are on the spacious side, with open counters and a steady rhythm that stays calm in running text. Curves are smooth and slightly ovalized, while joins and terminals remain restrained rather than sharp, supporting an even, readable texture. Numerals and capitals follow the same measured, bookish construction, with consistent serif treatment and balanced spacing.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and reports, where its open forms and controlled contrast produce a consistent text color. It also works effectively for editorial layouts—magazines, journals, and institutional communications—especially at text and subhead sizes where a traditional serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking printed literature and editorial typography. It feels formal without becoming ornate, projecting clarity, seriousness, and a quietly refined presence.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes comfortable readability while adding a modest touch of classical character through softly bracketed serifs and measured modulation.
Distinctive details—such as the flowing tail on the capital Q and the gently shaped terminals on letters like a, c, and e—add character while remaining within a conventional text-serif idiom. The face maintains good differentiation between similar forms (for example I/l and O/0) through serifing and proportions, helping it stay legible in paragraphs.
