A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady text rhythm. Capitals are stately and fairly open, with a slightly calligraphic influence in the curves and joins, while keeping crisp, well-defined terminals. Lowercase forms are compact and readable, with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a modestly angled stress that gives counters a warm, humanist feel. Numerals align comfortably with the text color and show clear differentiation, with rounded bowls and straightforward construction.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even texture and familiar serif structure support comfort and credibility. It can also serve effectively for headings, pull quotes, and formal collateral when a classic typographic voice is desired.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, suggesting a dependable, cultivated voice. It feels at home in literary or institutional settings—serious without being ornate, and traditional without appearing overly rigid.
The design appears aimed at a versatile, general-purpose text serif: clear in continuous reading, traditionally proportioned, and styled to convey authority and refinement across print-like typographic contexts.
Serifs are neither overly delicate nor heavy, helping the face retain clarity at text sizes while still showing character in larger settings. Curves are smooth and slightly softened, balancing the sharper edges of the serifs and giving paragraphs an even, composed color.
