A traditional serif with bracketed serifs and subtly calligraphic stroke modulation. Curves are open and smooth with moderate contrast, while terminals tend to be crisp and slightly tapered rather than blunt. Proportions feel balanced and bookish: generous counters, steady vertical rhythm, and a controlled overall color that stays even in text. Uppercase forms are stately and well contained; lowercase shows familiar oldstyle cues such as a two-storey “a” and “g” with a readable, flowing construction.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a conventional serif voice is desired. It can also serve institutional or academic materials, reports, and formal communications that benefit from a composed, established typographic presence.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—measured, cultivated, and dependable. Its detailing feels rooted in print traditions, giving text a sense of authority and composure without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes familiar forms, even rhythm, and durable readability. Its restrained contrast and bracketed serifs aim to deliver a classic print-like texture that remains comfortable across paragraphs and headlines alike.
In running text the spacing reads comfortable and steady, supporting long-form readability. Numerals appear proportional and serifed, matching the text style and maintaining a consistent texture alongside letters and punctuation.
