A traditional serif with softly bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms show an oldstyle influence: rounded bowls, slightly tapered stems, and curved joins that create an organic, calligraphic rhythm. Capitals are sturdy and open, while lowercase forms are compact with a relatively low x-height and prominent ascenders/descenders, giving text a vertical, textured color. Numerals are clear and varied in width, matching the typeface’s slightly irregular, humanist flow.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar, comfortable serif texture is desired. It can also support titles, pull quotes, and formal collateral when paired with generous leading and careful tracking to preserve its classic rhythm.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed books and editorial typography. Its soft modulation and rounded shaping feel warm and established rather than clinical, lending a traditional, slightly historical character.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with a humanist touch—prioritizing a steady text color, recognizable forms, and traditional proportions that feel at home in print-like, content-forward settings.
Serif detailing is crisp but not sharp, with subtle flare and bracket transitions that help strokes resolve smoothly. Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, and the design maintains consistent dark/white rhythm across both the grid and paragraph sample.
