This typeface presents a conventional book-serif structure with bracketed serifs and a clear vertical rhythm. Strokes show noticeable but restrained contrast with smooth, slightly calligraphic modulation, and terminals are generally crisp rather than blunt. Uppercase forms are balanced and moderately wide, while lowercase characters keep compact proportions and a steady x-height, supporting continuous text. The numerals read as oldstyle figures with varying heights and ascenders/descenders, matching the text color and cadence of the lowercase.
Well-suited to body text in books, longform articles, and magazine layouts where a stable, familiar serif texture is desirable. It also works for headings and refined branding systems that benefit from a classic, authoritative typographic voice, especially when paired with oldstyle numerals in running text.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with an editorial seriousness that feels at home in literary and institutional settings. Its moderate contrast and tidy detailing convey refinement without becoming delicate, giving it a trustworthy, established voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classic text serif that prioritizes readability and an even typographic color, while retaining enough contrast and detailing to feel polished in editorial presentation.
Curves are drawn with a gentle, controlled roundness (notably in C, G, O, and e), and joins remain clean to preserve clarity at reading sizes. The italic is not shown; all samples here appear roman/upright with consistent spacing and a calm, even texture across lines.
