A text-oriented serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a traditional, slightly calligraphic stress, with rounded bowls and open counters that keep texture readable at paragraph sizes. Capitals are well-proportioned and steady, while lowercase forms maintain a consistent rhythm with clear ascenders/descenders and tapered terminals. Figures appear proportional (oldstyle-like in feel) with varied heights and curving forms that blend smoothly into running text.
Well-suited for extended reading in books, editorial layouts, and magazine articles where a familiar serif texture is desirable. It also fits formal documents such as reports, essays, and academic or institutional materials that benefit from a traditional typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting a calm, established voice. Its shapes feel traditional and editorial rather than experimental, with an understated elegance suited to long-form reading.
The font appears designed as a conventional, comfortable text serif that prioritizes clarity and an even reading rhythm. Its moderate contrast and restrained serifs aim to deliver a reliable, timeless appearance across paragraphs and mixed-case typography.
The design reads cleanly in the sample text, with solid word shapes and restrained detailing that avoids fussiness. Curved letters (C, O, e, c) look smooth and evenly weighted, and the serif treatment stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, supporting a cohesive page color.
