A conventional serif with gently bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle flavor. Curves are round and open, with smooth joins and a calm rhythm across text. Uppercase forms feel dignified and steady, while the lowercase shows subtle liveliness in details like the ear on “g” and the curved foot on “y”. Numerals appear traditional and text-friendly, keeping consistent weight and proportions with the letters.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice is desired. It can also serve in institutional or cultural branding, especially when paired with restrained layouts and generous leading.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting long-form reading and editorial polish rather than display theatrics. It reads as composed and trustworthy, with just enough warmth in the curves to avoid feeling sterile or overly formal.
Designed to deliver a traditional reading experience with a balanced, familiar texture and restrained detailing. The intent appears to be a dependable text serif that feels established and comfortable while retaining subtle humanist character.
Serifs are neither sharp nor heavy, and the counters stay fairly open, helping maintain clarity in paragraphs. Spacing in the sample text looks even and measured, supporting a smooth reading texture at text sizes.
