A refined text face with clear, bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The proportions read slightly expansive, with generous sidebearings and open counters that keep paragraphs airy. Curves are smoothly drawn and the joins feel gently calligraphic, with occasional teardrop/ball-like terminals in the lowercase. The italic is a true italic rather than an oblique, showing cursive construction and a flowing rhythm that contrasts cleanly with the roman.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its open forms and moderate contrast support comfortable text color. The italic adds emphasis with a distinctly cursive flavor, making it useful for quotes, captions, and refined branding applications that want a traditional tone.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a confident, editorial voice. Its measured contrast and softened detailing add warmth, while the crisp capitals and steady spacing maintain a formal, established presence.
Designed to deliver a dependable, classic reading experience with enough calligraphic nuance to feel human and polished. The family appears aimed at versatile typography where roman clarity and italic expressiveness are both important.
Numerals appear oldstyle in text settings, blending naturally into lowercase lines. Uppercase forms are steady and classical, while the lowercase shows more personality through curved entry/exit strokes and rounded terminals, especially evident in letters like a, g, y, and s.
