A traditional serif with bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes that feel rooted in oldstyle book type. Curves are full and slightly asymmetric, with a soft, inked quality at joins and terminals that gives counters a warm, organic shape. The lowercase shows compact proportions with sturdy verticals, a two-storey “g,” and a slightly angled stress that keeps texture lively in paragraphs. Numerals are sturdy and legible, blending comfortably with the text rhythm rather than calling attention to themselves.
Well suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where an even, comfortable text texture is essential. It also fits reports and formal communication that benefit from a conventional serif voice, and can support headlines or pull quotes when set a bit larger.
The tone is classic and literary, conveying authority without stiffness. Its slightly softened details and inked joins add a human, editorial warmth that reads as dependable and familiar. Overall it suggests printed-page tradition—measured, calm, and professional.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-oriented text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar literary tone, while adding subtle, inked details to keep the page texture warm and lively.
In running text the font forms a dense, even color with clear word shapes and stable alignment, while the caps feel solid and slightly formal. The serifs and terminals are not overly sharp, which helps keep the overall texture smooth and readable at typical text sizes.
