This serif typeface features bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderately modulated strokes that create a steady, text-oriented rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with gently flared terminals and clear joins, giving counters a rounded, open feel. Proportions read as balanced and conventional, with a comfortable x-height and clear differentiation between characters; the lowercase has a lively, slightly varied texture while the capitals remain composed and stately. Numerals and punctuation follow the same restrained, book-face logic, with consistent contrast and well-contained shapes for continuous reading.
Well-suited for body copy in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It also works for formal headings, captions, and pull quotes, especially in print-like contexts that benefit from a traditional typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed books and editorial typography. It feels refined without being ornate, projecting seriousness and clarity with a subtle warmth from its softly tapered strokes.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif with classic proportions and restrained detailing. Its moderated contrast and bracketed serifs aim to balance elegance with sustained readability across paragraph settings.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman/upright. The design maintains a cohesive texture in paragraphs, with modest stroke contrast that supports long-form readability while still giving headings a dignified presence.
