A readable serif with gently flared, bracketed terminals and subtle stroke modulation that stays mostly even in color. Letterforms are broadly proportioned with open counters and smooth, slightly calligraphic transitions where stems meet bowls and arms. Serifs feel tapered and integrated rather than sharply chiseled, and diagonals and curves maintain a steady rhythm without abrupt contrast. Numerals follow the same understated, bookish construction, keeping a consistent texture alongside the text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady, comfortable texture is needed. It can also support formal branding, cultural institutions, and packaging that benefits from a traditional serif voice without feeling overly ornate.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, suggesting classical publishing and institutional typography rather than novelty or display. Its calm rhythm and restrained detailing give it a literary, authoritative feel that reads as established and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, publication-oriented serif with a hint of calligraphic warmth via flared terminals and smooth bracketing, balancing classical proportions with straightforward legibility.
Round letters (like C, O, and G) are generously drawn and stay open, while joins on letters such as n, m, and h show a soft, pen-influenced taper. The italic is not shown; all samples read as a roman style with conventional punctuation and a sturdy ampersand.
