A light-text serif with gently bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a softly calligraphic stroke modulation. The letterforms are relatively wide with open counters and rounded bowls, giving lines of text a calm, breathable rhythm. Curves transition smoothly into stems, terminals often finish with a subtle flare, and joins are clean rather than sharp. Numerals and capitals share the same restrained, book-oriented structure, with a modest contrast that stays consistent across the set.
Well suited for book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired at comfortable reading sizes. It can also work for formal collateral such as invitations, programs, and academic materials where a conservative, established tone helps establish credibility.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional print typography rather than display theatrics. Its restrained detailing and generous spacing feel refined and composed, with a slightly humanist warmth that keeps it from reading as rigidly formal.
Likely drawn to provide a conventional, readable serif for sustained text, combining classical proportions with gentle modulation and unobtrusive detailing. The design prioritizes clear word shapes and an even texture over attention-grabbing personality.
The lowercase shows an oldstyle inclination in its proportions and shaping, supporting continuous reading. Diagonals and curved strokes keep a steady color on the page, and the glyphs avoid extreme quirks, emphasizing familiarity and steadiness.
