A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The forms feel slightly calligraphic in their curvature and terminals, with smooth joins and a steady, readable rhythm. Capitals are proportioned with a traditional, inscriptional sensibility, while the lowercase shows oldstyle influence—most notably a two-storey “g” with an open ear, a gently hooked “f,” and softly tapered entry/exit strokes. Numerals are lining in feel, with open counters and subtly angled stress that matches the text color of the letters.
Well suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports continuous reading. It also works for headings and pull quotes that need a traditional, trustworthy tone without high-contrast delicacy.
The font projects a classic, literary tone—measured and authoritative without feeling stiff. Its serif detailing and gentle modulation suggest editorial credibility and a quietly traditional voice suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that balances classic proportions with restrained contrast and crisp serif shaping. It aims for clarity and an established print-like character rather than overt stylization.
The shapes maintain a consistent text color across mixed-case settings, and the serifs are present but not heavy, helping it stay crisp in paragraph use. Curved letters (C, G, S) show smooth, even arcs, while diagonals (V, W, X) retain a controlled, slightly tapered finish that keeps the overall texture calm rather than showy.
