A transitional, text-forward serif with moderate stroke contrast and clean, tapered terminals. The letterforms show gently bracketed serifs, smooth joins, and a consistent, upright axis that keeps lines orderly while retaining a subtly calligraphic modulation. Proportions are balanced rather than condensed, with open counters and steady spacing that supports continuous reading. Numerals and capitals follow the same restrained, bookish construction, with clear shapes and unobtrusive detailing.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even texture and familiar serif structure are desirable. It also works effectively for headings and pull quotes that need a formal, cultivated feel without excessive ornament.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking book typography and editorial polish. It feels credible and institutional without becoming ornate, projecting clarity, restraint, and a quiet sophistication.
The design appears intended as a dependable serif for general-purpose typography: traditional enough to feel authoritative, but restrained and clean enough to remain versatile across modern editorial and branding contexts.
In larger sizes, the sharpness of the serifs and the curvature of bowls and shoulders become more evident, giving headings a dignified presence. In text, the consistent rhythm and moderate contrast keep the page color even and legible, with a slightly classic flavor rather than a purely utilitarian voice.
