A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and softly modeled strokes. The letterforms show moderate thick–thin modulation and an overall organic, slightly calligraphic construction, with rounded joins and gently flared terminals. Counters are open and the rhythm is steady, while capitals feel sturdy and slightly wide in presence; lowercase forms are compact with clear, readable shapes and rounded bowls. Figures are proportional with oldstyle influences in their curves and weight distribution, matching the text color of the letters.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a familiar, traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs effectively for headings, pull quotes, and introductory copy that benefits from a sturdy, classic presence without looking ornate.
The tone is classic and literary, suggesting printed matter and editorial tradition. Its sturdy serifs and warm modulation add a dependable, slightly formal voice that still feels approachable and human.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that balances readability with a subtly traditional, oldstyle-leaning character. Its bracketed serifs and moderate modulation aim to produce an even page color while retaining a warm, print-like personality.
Stroke endings tend toward soft wedges rather than sharp hairlines, giving the face a solid, ink-on-paper feel. The sample text shows a consistent, even texture at display-to-text sizes, with punctuation and numerals sitting comfortably alongside the alphabet.
