A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated stroke weight. Curves transition smoothly into stems, giving the letterforms a calm, slightly calligraphic rhythm rather than a rigidly geometric feel. Capitals are proportioned for text settings with moderate widths and open interior spaces, while the lowercase shows rounded bowls and softly tapered terminals. Numerals align comfortably with the text color, with oldstyle-like detailing in their curves and joins.
Well suited to book and journal typography, editorial layouts, and other longform reading contexts where a stable, traditional serif texture is desired. It can also support headings and pull quotes when paired with generous tracking and leading for a more formal, literary voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with an understated formality. Its warm, familiar shapes evoke traditional print typography and editorial settings rather than sharp modernism or display eccentricity.
Designed to deliver a dependable, conventional text-serif appearance with a warm, readable rhythm. The moderate stroke modulation and bracketed serifs suggest an intention to balance refinement with comfortable legibility in continuous reading.
The italic is not shown; the displayed style maintains an even, steady texture across lines with clear counters and restrained detailing. Serifs remain consistent and not overly sharp, helping keep the texture smooth in paragraph samples.
