A conventional serif with gently bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and a slightly organic, pen-influenced rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even with only mild modulation, while terminals often soften into small balls or teardrops, especially in the lowercase. Proportions feel a bit airy in the capitals, with open counters and calmly spaced forms; the lowercase is compact in height and reads with a steady baseline and moderate descender depth. Overall drawing favors smooth curves and understated detailing rather than sharp, high-contrast refinement.
Well suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve headings and pull quotes when a restrained, literary tone is needed, pairing naturally with classic page typography and conservative branding.
The tone is classic and bookish, evoking printed literature, editorial tradition, and a quietly formal voice. Subtle softness in the terminals keeps it approachable, lending a slightly antique, crafted character without becoming overtly decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that prioritizes readability and familiar letterforms while adding a gentle touch of personality through softened terminals and subtly calligraphic curves.
The sample text suggests comfortable readability at text sizes, with clear differentiation between key shapes (like I/l, O/0, and the numerals) and a consistent serif treatment across the set. Curved letters (C, G, S, O) emphasize roundness and open apertures, contributing to an even, unhurried texture.
