A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, softly tapered strokes, and moderate thick–thin modulation. Letterforms show an even, text-oriented rhythm with generous counters and rounded joins that keep dense settings readable. Capitals feel stately and slightly wide, while the lowercase has compact, sturdy proportions and a calm, consistent texture across lines. The figures appear oldstyle, with varied heights and descenders that blend naturally with lowercase text.
Well-suited to body copy in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a steady rhythm and comfortable readability are important. It also works for formal headings, pull quotes, and institutional materials that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting editorial authority and a quiet formality. Its softened transitions and measured contrast add warmth, keeping it from feeling rigid or overly sharp.
Designed to provide a conventional, dependable text serif with a familiar literary character. The balanced contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle numerals suggest an intention to integrate smoothly into paragraph typography while still offering a polished, classic presence.
Serif shapes and terminals lean toward gently calligraphic influences rather than geometric construction, and the punctuation and numerals harmonize well with running text. In the sample paragraph, the face maintains a stable color and clear word shapes, indicating it is intended for continuous reading as well as refined display lines.
