A text serif with bracketed serifs, gently tapered strokes, and a rounded, humanist construction. The axis feels subtly diagonal, with moderate stroke modulation and soft transitions that keep counters open and readable. Capitals are stately and slightly wide-set, while lowercase forms show old-style traits such as a two-storey “a,” an angled ear on “g,” and subtly varied stroke endings. Numerals appear lining and sturdy, with the same calligraphic modulation and serif treatment for consistency.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, magazines, and institutional publishing where a classic serif voice and comfortable reading texture are desired. It can also support brand systems that need a traditional, credible tone, especially in headings and pull quotes.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a warm, cultured rhythm that suggests print heritage rather than hard-edged modernity. It reads as dependable and refined, lending a measured, editorial voice to longer passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, historically grounded reading experience with humanist warmth: stable proportions, moderate modulation, and well-bracketed serifs that keep paragraphs cohesive while still offering enough character for display use.
In the sample text, the face maintains a steady texture at larger sizes, with serif brackets and stroke tapering providing a gentle flow across lines. The design balances formality with approachable softness, avoiding extreme contrast or overly sharp terminals.
