A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, softly tapered terminals, and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show an oldstyle leaning: open counters, slightly organic curves, and a gently lively rhythm rather than rigid, mechanical construction. Uppercase proportions are broad and steady, while the lowercase maintains clear, readable shapes with distinct terminals on letters like a, c, e, and f. Numerals appear lining and proportionally integrated, with smooth curves and modest contrast that keeps them consistent with text settings.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice is desired. It can also support formal communication—reports, institutional materials, and packaging copy—especially when a traditional but approachable tone is needed.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting printed pages, editorial craft, and a measured formality. Its subtle calligraphic inflection adds warmth and a human cadence, avoiding starkness while still feeling dependable and refined.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that balances tradition with a slightly lively, humanist touch. It aims for consistent readability across paragraphs while keeping enough character in the terminals and serifs to feel crafted rather than generic.
Spacing and color look even in paragraph setting, producing a stable text texture. Curves and joins stay smooth and controlled, and the serifs are present but not overly sharp, supporting comfortable long-form readability without feeling heavy or decorative.
