A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, readable rhythm. The letterforms show oldstyle influences: rounded bowls, softly tapered joins, and a gently calligraphic feel in curves and terminals rather than rigid geometric construction. Capitals are stately and slightly wide with clear wedge-like finishing, while the lowercase features a two-storey “a” and “g,” open apertures, and sturdy verticals that keep paragraphs dark but not heavy. Numerals align comfortably with the text color, with clear shapes and balanced widths suited to running copy.
Well suited to book interiors, editorial layouts, and other text-forward documents where a dependable serif texture is needed. It can also serve for headlines and subheads when a traditional, authoritative voice is desired, pairing easily with restrained sans serifs for contemporary layouts.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed books, academic writing, and editorial seriousness. It feels calm and established rather than trendy, with an understated elegance appropriate for long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose, conventional text serif that balances classic book typography cues with clear, contemporary drawing for reliable readability across paragraphs and mixed-content pages.
Stroke endings and serifs read as crisp at display sizes but remain gently bracketed, helping maintain smooth texture in text. The design prioritizes familiar proportions and clear differentiation between similar shapes, supporting comfortable scanning in continuous setting.
