A conventional serif with bracketed wedge serifs, softly modulated strokes, and a steady, readable rhythm. Curves are generous and slightly egg-shaped, with rounded joins and subtle swelling through stems that gives the face a gently calligraphic texture. Lowercase forms feel compact and sturdy, with prominent ascenders and clear counters; several letters show ball-like terminals and small finishing flicks that add warmth without becoming decorative. The numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and descenders, matching the text color and cadence of the lowercase.
Well suited to extended reading in books, long-form articles, and editorial layouts where an even texture and reliable letterforms are priorities. It also works for headings and pull quotes when a classic serif voice is desired, especially in print-forward designs.
The tone is traditional and bookish, projecting credibility and calm authority. It reads as familiar and composed, with enough warmth in the terminals and curves to feel welcoming rather than austere.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that balances traditional proportions with gentle modulation for comfortable reading. Details like bracketed serifs, rounded terminals, and oldstyle figures suggest a focus on literary typography and consistent page color.
In text, the face produces an even gray with distinct word shapes and clear differentiation between similar forms (notably the open apertures and the sturdy, serifed capitals). The serifs are substantial enough to anchor lines on the page, but remain bracketed and refined, avoiding a heavy or blocky feel.
