A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms show soft, calligraphic shaping with rounded joins and slightly tapered terminals, giving a smooth, continuous rhythm in text. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height, open counters, and steady spacing that supports long reading. Numerals align comfortably with the text color and share the same restrained contrast and serif treatment.
Well-suited to body text in books, long-form editorial layouts, and publication typography where an even, comfortable reading color is important. It can also support institutional or academic communication and classic brand systems that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, leaning toward editorial seriousness rather than display flamboyance. Its softened serifs and moderate contrast create a warm, established voice that reads as traditional and trustworthy.
The design appears intended as a dependable text serif that balances tradition with gentle warmth, prioritizing consistent paragraph texture and familiar, legible forms for sustained reading.
Curves are drawn with a subtle, humanist influence—round letters stay full without becoming geometric, and diagonals keep a calm, measured presence. The texture in paragraphs is even, with a slightly lively serif rhythm that adds character without disrupting readability.
