A traditional serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and gently modulated strokes that create a calm, even rhythm in text. Proportions lean classical, with generous counters, a moderate x-height, and clear differentiation between thick and thin parts without becoming overly sharp. The italics are not shown; the roman exhibits subtle calligraphic influence in curved joins and terminals, while maintaining crisp outlines and consistent spacing suitable for continuous reading.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where steady texture and comfortable readability are priorities. It can also support headings and pull quotes at larger sizes while keeping a conventional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking established book typography and editorial seriousness. It feels refined and slightly formal, with enough warmth in the shapes to avoid austerity.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that borrows from classical proportions and restrained calligraphic detailing to produce an unobtrusive, readable page color.
Uppercase forms read stately and balanced, while lowercase shapes stay open and legible; round letters retain smooth curvature and the serifs remain understated rather than decorative. Numerals appear traditional and text-friendly, blending smoothly with surrounding letterforms rather than standing out as purely display figures.
