This serif shows softly bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke modulation, producing a steady, text-oriented rhythm. Curves are round and open, with moderate apertures in letters like C, c, and e, and crisp but not razor-sharp joins. Capitals feel balanced and slightly formal, while the lowercase has smooth, readable forms and unobtrusive extenders; the two-storey a and g reinforce a conventional text-seriffed construction. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and subtle descenders, matching the face’s literary tone and even color in paragraph settings.
It is well-suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where consistent color and comfortable readability matter. The oldstyle numerals integrate naturally in running text, making it a strong choice for literature, academic content, and print-style digital reading experiences.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a quiet refinement rather than overt display. It suggests traditional print typography—measured, trustworthy, and suited to long-form reading—while maintaining enough crispness for polished editorial work.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif for extended text, combining traditional proportions with restrained contrast and unobtrusive detailing to maintain clarity at paragraph sizes.
Details like the angled stress in rounded forms, the restrained curvature of serifs, and the slightly tapered strokes help keep textures smooth across mixed-case text. The italic is not shown; all samples appear to be roman, with consistent spacing and a stable baseline feel.
