This serif typeface shows slender, bracketed serifs and a gently modulated stroke, with smooth transitions into stems and arms. Proportions feel traditional with a relatively tall x-height, rounded bowls, and open apertures that keep words clear in continuous text. Curves are slightly calligraphic (notably in the ‘e’ and ‘a’), while capitals maintain a calm, upright presence with restrained flare and consistent spacing. Numerals are lining and serifed, matching the letterforms with balanced widths and clean, bookish rhythm.
It is well-suited to body copy in books, journals, and magazines where a traditional serif voice and comfortable reading rhythm are needed. It can also support headings and pull quotes when a measured, classic tone is desired, pairing well with minimal or traditional layouts.
The overall tone is classical and composed, leaning toward literary and editorial contexts rather than display theatrics. It reads as refined and trustworthy, with a quiet elegance that suits long-form reading and measured, formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar, established texture on the page, while adding a mild calligraphic warmth through bracketed serifs and softly shaped curves.
Letterforms exhibit a steady baseline and even color, with enough stroke modulation to feel traditional without becoming delicate. The italic is not shown; the roman carries the personality through subtle curvature and carefully shaped terminals.
