A classic text serif with bracketed serifs, softly modulated strokes, and a steady, bookish rhythm. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle construction: rounded bowls, gently tapered joins, and modest contrast that stays even at text sizes. Uppercase shapes feel balanced and traditional, while lowercase forms have open counters and sturdy proportions; the italic is not shown, and all samples appear upright. Numerals read as oldstyle figures with varying heights and descenders, matching the text-centric character of the design.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where sustained readability and a conventional serif voice are desired. It can also serve formal documents and academic material, and its oldstyle numerals make it especially appropriate for text that includes dates and inline figures.
The font conveys a traditional, editorial tone—calm, credible, and slightly conservative. Its softened serifs and moderated contrast lend a warm, literary feel rather than a sharp, high-fashion presence, making it feel familiar and dependable on the page.
The design appears intended as a conventional, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and a time-tested typographic tone. Its oldstyle construction and figures suggest an emphasis on continuous reading and traditional publishing contexts rather than display-driven branding.
Stroke endings tend toward subtly flared or tapered terminals rather than blunt cuts, and the serifs sit with noticeable bracketing that smooths transitions into stems. Spacing in the sample text appears comfortable and even, supporting continuous reading and multi-line setting.
