A conventional serif with gently bracketed wedge serifs and a softly calligraphic, oldstyle construction. Strokes show moderate modulation and slightly sheared terminals, giving the forms a lively rhythm without feeling decorative. Counters are open and the overall color is even, with round letters staying full and capitals showing sturdy, flared proportions. Lowercase details like the two-storey “g,” the angled head of “t,” and the modestly splayed feet across many letters reinforce a traditional reading texture.
Well suited to extended reading in books, long-form articles, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfort and continuity. It also works for headlines and subheads when a traditional, confident voice is desired, especially in print-oriented compositions.
The tone is literary and established, evoking printed books, newspapers, and institutional typography. Subtle humanist cues add warmth and approachability, while the crisp serifs maintain a sense of authority and polish.
Designed to provide a dependable, general-purpose text serif with a classic feel and a hint of oldstyle warmth. The emphasis appears to be on balanced proportions, readable counters, and a measured rhythm that holds up in paragraph settings while remaining suitable for display sizes.
Figures appear lining with clear, sturdy shapes and consistent serif treatment. The italic is not shown; all samples present a steady roman voice with slightly animated terminals that keep long passages from looking rigid.
