This serif has sturdy, rounded, bracketed serifs and softly tapered terminals that keep the rhythm smooth rather than razor-sharp. Strokes feel even and steady with gentle modulation, and the letterforms lean on traditional proportions with a relatively compact x-height. Uppercase shapes are broad and stable, while lowercase forms show classic details like a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a narrow, beaked “f.” Overall spacing is open and consistent, giving lines a calm, readable texture.
Well-suited for book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, essays, and other text-forward print applications where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve for formal headings and pull quotes when a classic, composed presence is needed without looking overly sharp or modern.
The tone reads as classic and literary, with an editorial, book-oriented seriousness. Its softened edges add a touch of warmth, keeping it approachable while still feeling traditional and authoritative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes steady readability and a familiar, time-tested tone. Details like rounded bracketed serifs and oldstyle numerals suggest a focus on comfortable, literary typography rather than display experimentation.
The numerals appear oldstyle (text) figures, with varying heights and some descenders, which reinforces a typographic, page-focused character. Punctuation and caps maintain the same rounded, bracketed serif language, supporting cohesive long-text setting.
