A conventional serif with oldstyle proportions and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate, smooth contrast with slightly calligraphic modulation rather than sharp Didone-like stress. Capitals are stately and fairly wide with open counters; the lowercase is compact with a noticeably short x-height and a clear, readable rhythm. Terminals tend toward rounded or softly tapered finishes, and the numerals align comfortably with the text color without looking overly geometric.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It should also work cleanly for academic or institutional documents, front-matter typography, and refined branding that needs a traditional voice without excessive ornament.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a composed, editorial feel. It reads as polished and trustworthy—more literary and institutional than trendy—while remaining approachable due to its softened joins and moderate contrast.
The font appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif: optimized for comfortable paragraph setting with familiar proportions, moderate contrast, and conservative detailing that prioritizes readability and a timeless tone.
The design maintains an even text color in the sample paragraph, with sturdy serifs that help tracking and line flow at text sizes. The shapes lean humanist: rounded bowls, open apertures, and restrained detailing that supports continuous reading rather than display theatrics.
