A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes that read as medium contrast in text. The forms show an oldstyle influence: rounded joins, slightly calligraphic curves, and a soft, flowing rhythm rather than sharp, geometric construction. Uppercase letters are broad and steady, while the lowercase has compact proportions with a noticeably short x-height and clear ascenders/descenders. Terminals and serifs feel subtly flared and organic, and the numerals share the same calm, book-oriented color and spacing.
Well suited to book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice is desired. It can also serve for headings and subheads, especially in print or high-resolution digital settings where its classic details and calm rhythm remain clear.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed books and editorial typography. Its moderate contrast and softened details give it a warm, human feel, while the sturdy proportions keep it formal and composed for serious reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and a traditional publishing voice. Its oldstyle-leaning details and controlled contrast suggest an aim for comfortable long-form reading with a subtly cultured character.
In the sample text, the face maintains an even texture across long lines, with recognizable, conventional lettershapes and a restrained personality. The width and open counters help headings feel expansive without becoming decorative, and punctuation integrates cleanly with the text color.
