A conventional serif with moderately bracketed serifs and gently flared terminals that give the strokes a subtly calligraphic feel. The drawing keeps a calm, upright posture, with modest contrast and slightly irregular, humanist curves that soften the overall texture. Counters are open and rounded, joins are smooth, and the rhythm alternates between compact verticals and wider rounded forms, producing a readable, slightly lively line. Numerals follow the same old-style logic, with curved entry/exit strokes and traditional proportions that blend naturally with text.
Well-suited to body copy in books, magazines, and other editorial settings where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve for chapter titles, pull quotes, and packaging or identity work that benefits from a classic, literary voice without excessive ornament.
The tone is traditional and bookish, suggesting printed literature and editorial typography rather than overt modernism. Its softened curves and lightly characterful terminals add warmth and approachability while remaining conservative enough for extended reading. Overall it feels familiar, literary, and quietly distinctive without calling attention to itself.
The design appears intended as a dependable text serif that balances conventional proportions with small humanist details for warmth and readability. It aims to provide a familiar typographic color while adding just enough character in terminals and serifs to feel crafted rather than purely mechanical.
Several letters show small, expressive stroke endings and gentle swelling at curves, which adds texture at larger sizes and a faintly historical flavor. The lowercase has a steady, even color with clear differentiation between similar forms, and the punctuation and figures carry the same restrained, classic detailing.
