A refined text serif with gently bracketed serifs and a measured, bookish rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions into stems, and terminals are mostly tapered or softly flared rather than blunt. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow, while the lowercase maintains a steady texture with rounded bowls, clear counters, and a compact, readable construction. Numerals follow the same old-style sensibility, with varied widths and modest modulation that keeps them harmonious in running text.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support academic and professional documents, headings, and pull quotes where clarity and a formal tone matter.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting established publishing conventions rather than overt stylistic display. It reads as composed and authoritative, with a quiet elegance suited to long-form reading and formal messaging.
The font appears intended as a dependable, conventional serif for comfortable reading, emphasizing balanced proportions, clean serifs, and a calm typographic color. Its detailing aims for a familiar, established feel that integrates smoothly into editorial and print-oriented typography.
The design balances crisp serifs with restrained stroke modulation, producing a stable baseline and consistent color in paragraphs. Letterforms keep familiar, conventional shapes (notably the two-storey a and g), with details that feel subtly calligraphic without becoming ornate.
