A conventional serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and gently flared terminals. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with smooth curves and slightly softened joins, giving the outlines a mildly calligraphic, oldstyle feel rather than a rigid modern one. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with generous counters; curves are full and open, and the overall rhythm reads steady and comfortable. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, matching the text color of the alphabet.
Well suited to book interiors, longform reading, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and consistent texture are important. It can also serve for headings and pull quotes when a classic, authoritative feel is needed, especially in print-inspired designs.
The tone is classic and bookish, leaning formal without feeling brittle. It evokes traditional print typography—comfortable, credible, and suited to editorial settings where familiarity and authority are desired.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif with warm, slightly calligraphic detailing—aimed at readability and familiar literary tone while maintaining a robust presence on the page.
Serifs and terminals tend to be rounded and slightly tapered, which helps soften the texture at larger sizes while keeping a solid, dark presence. The sample text shows an even line color and clear word shapes, with lively details in diagonals and junctions that keep the page from feeling monotonous.
