A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a slightly calligraphic axis that gives the rounds a gentle organic tension. Capitals are sturdy and fairly classical in proportion, with crisp, wedge-like terminals and strong horizontals on forms like E and T. The lowercase shows a compact, text-forward rhythm: a two-storey a, looped g, and a sturdy ear on the r, with clear, slightly tapered joins that keep strokes from feeling purely mechanical. Numerals appear oldstyle (with ascenders and descenders), contributing to an integrated text color and a subtly bookish cadence. Overall spacing reads even and legible, with a firm baseline and consistent serif treatment across the set.
Well-suited for book typography, editorial layouts, and other text-heavy settings where a familiar serif texture and comfortable readability are important. The oldstyle numerals and cohesive lowercase make it a strong choice for running text in magazines, essays, reports, and other formal or institutional communications.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking printed books and established editorial typography. Its lively stroke shaping adds warmth without becoming decorative, supporting a confident, dependable voice suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional, workhorse text serif that prioritizes readability and a classic print voice, while retaining enough modulation and detail to feel crafted and literary rather than generic.
The typeface balances crisp edges with softly bracketed connections, producing a stable texture at text sizes while still showing character in details like the lowercase terminals and the varied-height figures. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are clean and emphatic, and the Q’s tail is restrained, keeping the overall impression composed rather than flashy.
