This serif face shows bracketed, gently tapered serifs and a moderate stroke modulation that feels driven by broad-nib pen logic rather than rigid geometry. Capitals are sturdy and slightly wide with smooth curves and crisp joins, while the lowercase has rounded bowls, compact apertures, and a steady, even rhythm. Terminals often end in subtly flared wedges, and diagonals (notably in V, W, X, and the numeral 7) carry a slight calligraphic tension. Numerals are oldstyle in feel, with varied proportions and some figures dipping or rising in a way that integrates naturally with running text.
Well suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a stable, readable serif is needed for extended passages. It can also serve in formal collateral—such as reports, programs, and institutional materials—where a classic, trustworthy tone is desirable, and it scales cleanly for subheads and pull quotes.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a calm authority suited to long-form reading. Its calligraphic inflection adds warmth and a hint of historical character without becoming ornamental, giving text a familiar, literary voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a dependable, time-tested atmosphere, while adding restrained calligraphic detailing to keep the letterforms lively on the page.
In text settings, the spacing reads comfortably open and the color stays consistent across lines, producing a cohesive page texture. The serif treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping mixed content (such as headings with numerals) feel unified.
