A conventional serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and a gently modulated stroke that suggests a restrained calligraphic influence. The letterforms show rounded joins, open counters, and steady proportions, with a calm, even rhythm across the alphabet. Capitals are sturdy and formal with clear, traditional shapes, while the lowercase stays readable through generous apertures and a straightforward, two-storey “a” and “g.” Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), with varying heights and descenders that blend naturally into running text.
Well suited to extended reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits professional documents and academic materials that benefit from a familiar, trustworthy typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a quietly authoritative presence. It reads as familiar and dependable rather than flashy, evoking printed literature, academic material, and long-form editorial typography.
The design appears intended to provide a versatile, traditional text serif that prioritizes readability and a stable page color, while adding subtle warmth through moderated contrast and softly bracketed serifs.
Details like the curved tail on “Q,” the angled terminals on “a” and “c,” and the compact, well-contained serifs contribute to a polished, print-oriented feel. The design maintains clarity at text sizes while still showing enough character in the curves and brackets to avoid looking mechanical.
