A serif text face with gently bracketed serifs and a subtly calligraphic construction. Strokes show noticeable modulation with round, slightly softened joins and terminals that read as inked rather than razor-sharp. Counters are compact and the rhythm is steady, with sturdy verticals and smooth, rounded curves (notably in C, G, O, and Q). The lowercase is compact and functional, with a two-storey g and clear, sturdy forms that hold together well in paragraph settings.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also support headlines and subheads, especially when paired with ample leading and moderate tracking to maintain its calm, printed rhythm.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, evoking printed literature and editorial typography. Its softened modulation and rounded finishing details keep it from feeling austere, while still projecting seriousness and clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, literary serif voice with reliable readability, blending traditional proportions with softened, ink-like finishing to keep text color even and comfortable over paragraphs.
Capitals feel slightly wide and stately, with clear differentiation between similarly shaped letters. Numerals are straightforward and readable, with a fairly even color across lines and a mild vintage, ink-on-paper character in the shaping.
