A light, conventional serif with bracketed wedge serifs and gently modulated strokes that create a calm, readable rhythm. The capitals show classical proportions with sharp, tapered terminals and clean curves, while the lowercase is airy with open counters and a modest, bookish color on the page. Details like the double-storey a, the curved ear on g, and the subtle finishing strokes on c and s give it a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle flavor without becoming ornate. Numerals are similarly refined, with thin joins and elegant curves that sit comfortably alongside the text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts. It also fits cultural institutions, publishing imprints, and formal printed materials such as programs, invitations, and certificates where a classic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a literary, editorial feel. It reads as refined rather than flashy, lending a sense of authority and craftsmanship suited to serious content.
Designed to provide a familiar, dependable text-serif texture with a touch of elegance through fine serifs and restrained stroke contrast. The intent appears to balance classical letterform cues with clarity for continuous reading and editorial typography.
The design’s light weight and crisp serifs benefit from sufficient size and spacing, where the fine details and stroke modulation remain clear. In longer text, the consistent serif rhythm and open interior spaces help maintain a smooth reading flow.
