A classic text serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and softly modulated strokes. The letterforms show restrained contrast and a slightly rounded, ink-friendly finish in corners and terminals, giving the outlines a calm, sturdy presence. Proportions lean a bit broad, with open counters and a steady rhythm that stays readable in continuous text. Numerals are lining and similarly robust, with rounded curves and clear, traditional shapes.
Well suited to body copy in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture and stable rhythm are desired. It also fits formal documents and reports, and can handle headings when a traditional, authoritative tone is appropriate.
The overall tone feels bookish and conventional, evoking printed literature and editorial typography. Its softened terminals and measured contrast lend a warm, dependable voice rather than a sharp, high-fashion one.
The design appears intended as a conventional, general-purpose serif for comfortable reading, balancing traditional detailing with a slightly softened finish to maintain clarity and an approachable texture on the page.
Several glyphs show subtle calligraphic cues—curved joins and ball-like terminals—without becoming decorative. The design prioritizes legibility and even color on the line, with a consistent, conservative silhouette suited to long-form reading.
