A classic serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and moderate stroke modulation. Curves are full and open, with rounded bowls and clear apertures that keep the texture readable in continuous text. Proportions lean slightly wide with a steady rhythm, and capitals carry traditional Roman structure (notably the curved leg on R and the balanced, open C/G forms). Lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a sturdy vertical stress, and a compact, well-defined ear and terminals; numerals are lining with clear, familiar shapes and strong baseline presence.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable, familiar serif texture is desired. It also works for formal documents, institutional materials, and headings that need a traditional voice without extreme contrast.
The font conveys a traditional, literary tone—measured and trustworthy rather than flashy. Its restrained contrast and conventional detailing feel academic and editorial, suggesting formality and long-form seriousness while remaining approachable.
The design appears intended as a dependable general-purpose text serif: traditional proportions, moderate contrast, and bracketed serifs aim to deliver a classic page color and comfortable readability across extended passages.
The sample text shows a calm, even color with comfortable internal whitespace, helping punctuation and mixed-case passages stay clear. Serifs are distinct but not sharp, producing a polished texture that supports sustained reading.
