A classic text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a gently calligraphic rhythm. Proportions are balanced with a normal x-height and slightly tapered terminals that keep the color even in paragraph settings. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous, and joins are clean, giving the design a calm, readable texture. Numerals are lining with clear, sturdy forms that match the text weight and contrast.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where steady texture and comfortable spacing matter. It also fits formal communications and institutional materials, and can serve as a tasteful serif for headings when set with appropriate tracking and line spacing.
The font reads as traditional and composed, evoking the tone of established editorial typography. Its measured contrast and familiar serif detailing suggest reliability and formality without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose serif for conventional text typography, prioritizing clarity, even color, and familiar proportions. Its detailing aims for a timeless look that remains comfortable across paragraphs, headings, and numerals.
Letterforms show careful optical balancing: rounded characters (like O/C/e) remain open, while straight-sided forms keep consistent stem weight and serif treatment. Capitals feel stately and slightly wide-set, supporting a dignified headline presence while remaining compatible with continuous text.
