A conventional text serif with gently bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and softly rounded joins that keep the texture even and readable. Proportions lean slightly narrow with a steady rhythm and calm spacing, while curves (C, O, S) stay smooth and controlled. Terminals are subtly tapered rather than blunt, and the overall drawing avoids sharp angles in favor of a mildly calligraphic, printed-book feel. Lowercase forms are compact and familiar, with a two-storey a and a double-storey g; numerals appear oldstyle with noticeable ascenders/descenders that sit comfortably within running text.
Well-suited to body copy in books, essays, and editorial layouts where sustained readability matters. It can also support headings and pull quotes when a traditional, understated serif voice is desired, and works naturally in print-like UI or documentation contexts that benefit from a familiar, bookish texture.
The tone is traditional and literary, evoking the cadence of printed pages and long-form reading. It feels composed and trustworthy rather than attention-seeking, with a gentle warmth coming from the rounded brackets and moderate contrast.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes comfortable reading and a timeless, print-oriented voice. Its moderated contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle figures suggest an emphasis on refined tradition over display-driven personality.
The sample text shows a consistent color at paragraph sizes, with serifs that aid horizontal flow without becoming ornamental. Capitals read cleanly for headings, while the oldstyle figures and the slightly calligraphic details reinforce a classic text setting character.
