A classic serif with bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with softly tapered terminals, giving the letters an organic rhythm rather than a mechanical texture. Proportions are moderately wide with rounded bowls and open counters; the uppercase feels stately without being rigid, while the lowercase maintains an even, readable flow. Curves and joins are slightly irregular in a human way, producing a lively, traditional page color at text sizes.
Well-suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even, traditional reading texture is desired. It can also support headings and pull quotes when a classic, humanist serif voice is needed, especially in print-oriented designs.
The overall tone is literary and familiar, with a warm, historical character that evokes printed books and editorial typography. It feels approachable and cultured rather than austere, balancing refinement with a subtly handcrafted presence.
Likely designed to deliver comfortable long-form readability with a distinctly traditional serif flavor, combining moderate contrast and bracketed serifs with humanist, calligraphic shaping to keep the texture warm and engaging over paragraphs.
Distinctive details include gently flared and cupped terminals, a flowing italic-like energy in some lowercase strokes despite the upright stance, and numerals that match the text rhythm with rounded forms and understated emphasis. The spacing and shapes create a consistent texture that stays steady across both the glyph grid and paragraph sample.
