A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and gently calligraphic shaping. The capitals show classical proportions with clean, slightly tapered terminals and rounded joins, while the lowercase maintains an even, readable rhythm with open counters and smooth curves. Serifs are finely cut rather than blocky, and the overall spacing feels balanced for continuous reading, with a steady baseline and consistent vertical stress.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even typographic color is important. It also fits professional documents and understated branding applications that benefit from a traditional serif presence without heavy ornamentation.
The font projects a classic, bookish tone—measured and cultured rather than attention-seeking. Its restrained contrast and traditional detailing give it a familiar, trustworthy voice suited to editorial and institutional settings.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and a traditional typographic feel. Its details aim for a polished, literary character while remaining versatile for a broad range of print-like compositions.
Figures appear lining and integrate smoothly with the letterforms, keeping the same quiet contrast and serif treatment. The overall texture in paragraphs is even and cohesive, with enough definition in the serifs and terminals to support clarity at text sizes.
