A delicate, book-oriented serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes. The letterforms show moderate thick–thin modulation and a steady, even rhythm, with open counters and clean joins that keep text color light and breathable. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a conventional structure with a two-storey “a” and “g”, compact bowls, and tidy, controlled terminals. Numerals appear lining and proportionally balanced, matching the understated text tone rather than calling attention to themselves.
Well-suited for books, essays, and editorial layouts where sustained readability and a restrained typographic color are priorities. It also works effectively for institutional reports, literary branding, and elegant headings when a classic serif tone is desired without heavy weight or high drama.
The overall tone is classical and composed, evoking editorial typography and traditional print culture. It feels precise without being sharp, and refined without becoming ornate, lending a quietly formal voice to longer reading and measured messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional, versatile text serif that prioritizes clarity, even rhythm, and a traditional literary voice. Its restrained contrast and carefully shaped serifs suggest a focus on comfortable paragraph setting and dependable hierarchy from body text to headings.
Serifs read as lightly flared and smoothly bracketed, supporting comfortable horizontal flow in paragraphs. Spacing appears measured and consistent across the alphabet, contributing to an even texture in running text and a restrained presence in display sizes.
