A conventional text serif with bracketed, softly tapered serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a calligraphic underpinning: curved joins, slightly flared terminals, and a steady, bookish rhythm in running text. Uppercase proportions feel balanced and open, with round bowls and restrained counters, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation and comfortable spacing. Numerals appear oldstyle (ranging) with varied heights and a traditional, text-friendly presence.
Well-suited for body text in books, journals, and editorial layouts where sustained readability and a familiar typographic voice are desired. It can also serve effectively for headlines and subheads when a traditional, authoritative serif tone is needed.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed books and editorial typography. It reads as composed and credible rather than showy, with a quietly traditional character that supports long-form content.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose reading serif: traditional in structure, comfortable in texture, and optimized for continuous text while still offering enough personality for editorial display lines.
Curves are smooth and controlled, and the design avoids extreme contrast or overly sharp details, helping maintain even color on the page. Subtle terminal shaping (including occasional ball-like finishes) adds warmth without pushing into decorative territory.
