This serif typeface shows old-style proportions with moderate contrast and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes exhibit a subtle calligraphic modulation with diagonal stress, and terminals often finish with gently tapered, wedge-like forms rather than blunt cuts. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow in their internal spacing, while the lowercase maintains an even rhythm with open bowls and clear joins; the two-storey a and g reinforce its bookish, traditional construction. Numerals align comfortably with the text color, with curved figures that echo the same restrained modulation.
It is well suited to book and editorial typography, where its balanced contrast and bracketed serifs produce a steady, comfortable text color. It can also support academic or institutional materials and traditional branding that benefits from a familiar, cultivated serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and composed, with a warm, humanist texture that reads as editorial and literary rather than stark or geometric. Its calligraphic undercurrent gives it a familiar, trustworthy voice suited to long-form reading and culturally established contexts.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, traditional serif with a humanist warmth—combining classical proportions and calligraphic modulation to create an inviting texture for continuous reading while retaining enough refinement for headings and display lines.
Several shapes show gently idiosyncratic details—such as slightly flared terminals and subtly varied stroke endings—that add character without disrupting the text color. Curved letters like C, G, S, and the bowls of b/p/d keep a smooth, continuous flow, supporting a calm, traditional rhythm in paragraphs.
