A text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated strokes that keep the overall color even and readable. Capitals are stately and moderately wide with crisp terminals, while the lowercase shows an oldstyle-leaning construction: a double-storey “g,” a slightly diagonal stress in round forms, and soft, tapered joins that feel drawn rather than purely mechanical. Curves are smooth and open, counters are roomy, and the figures follow the same serifed, traditional rhythm with lining proportions that sit comfortably alongside capitals.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, and other long-form reading where an even texture and open counters support comfort at text sizes. It also fits editorial layouts and institutional or formal communications that benefit from a classic serif voice, and it can scale to display use for headings that need refinement rather than overt showiness.
The font projects a composed, literary tone—traditional without feeling stiff. Its balanced contrast and calligraphic warmth give it an editorial, bookish character suited to serious reading and classic presentation.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar, classical tone. Its subtle calligraphic cues and bracketed serifs aim to create a warm, cultivated page color for sustained reading and editorial typography.
The face maintains a consistent rhythm across mixed-case text, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (notably I/J and O/Q) and a calm baseline presence. Punctuation and small details (like the angled cross-strokes and tapered terminals) reinforce a crafted, print-oriented sensibility.
