A classic serif with bracketed wedges and softly tapered terminals, showing an oldstyle influence in its moderate modulation and slightly calligraphic curves. The capitals are broad and steady with crisp, gently flared serifs, while the lowercase has a comparatively small x-height and rounded, open bowls. Curves show subtle diagonal stress, and joins are smooth rather than sharply mechanical, creating an even, bookish texture in paragraph settings. Figures align comfortably with the text, mixing straight and curved strokes with traditional serif detailing.
It performs well for book interiors, essays, magazines, and other long-form reading where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It also fits reports, academic material, and formal communications that benefit from a conventional, authoritative typographic tone.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a calm authority suited to reading and editorial contexts. Its restrained contrast and softened serif shaping convey refinement without looking delicate, giving it a trustworthy, established voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for continuous reading, combining traditional proportions with clean, consistent serif construction to produce a dependable, classic page color.
In text, the rhythm reads slightly airy due to the small x-height and generous internal spaces, while the serifs provide clear word shapes and a stable baseline. The design balances crisp edges with gently rounded transitions, keeping it polished rather than ornate.
