A classic text serif with bracketed, slightly wedge-shaped serifs and softly tapered stroke endings. Curves are generous and open, with moderate stroke modulation that stays even and readable in continuous text. The letters show a traditional, bookish construction: rounded bowls, a steady baseline rhythm, and carefully shaped joins that avoid abrupt angles. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with ascenders and descenders, reinforcing a flowing, text-first texture.
This face is well suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where sustained readability and an even typographic color are priorities. It can also work for formal headings and pull quotes when set a bit larger, pairing well with restrained, traditional layouts.
The overall tone feels established and literary, with a composed, editorial voice rather than a decorative one. It conveys calm authority and familiarity, suited to contexts where tradition and readability matter.
The design intention appears to be a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes legibility and a familiar printed-page feel. Its moderated contrast and bracketed serifs aim for versatility across extended reading and general-purpose typography.
The lowercase has a lively, slightly calligraphic feel in details like the ear and terminals, while capitals remain stately and measured. Spacing and proportions create a smooth color on the page, with clear differentiation between similar forms in both upper- and lowercase.
