A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms show a calm, book-oriented rhythm: rounded bowls, moderate apertures, and a steady baseline presence with clear word shapes. Serifs are softly tapered rather than blunt, and joins feel subtly calligraphic, producing a natural flow in continuous reading. Uppercase proportions are balanced and stately, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward texture with familiar forms (two-storey a and g) and unforced spacing.
Well suited to extended reading environments such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even typographic color and familiar serif structure support comfort and clarity. It can also serve formal communications and print-forward branding where a traditional voice is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, suggesting tradition and reliability rather than novelty. It reads as formal without feeling severe, making it suitable for serious content and long-form narratives.
Designed to provide a dependable, traditional reading experience with enough stroke modulation and serif shaping to feel crafted, while keeping forms conventional and highly legible in paragraphs.
Numerals appear as oldstyle figures (with varying heights and descenders), which reinforces a book-typographic character in running text. The lowercase shows a restrained, slightly humanist warmth, and the italic is not shown, keeping the impression firmly in upright, text-centered usage.
