A traditional serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The drawing shows gently tapered joins and subtly calligraphic stress, giving curves a lively, slightly organic feel rather than a rigid, mechanical one. Counters are open and round, terminals are clean and restrained, and the overall rhythm is even, with slightly generous set-widths that keep word shapes clear at display and text sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its open counters and steady rhythm support comfortable scanning. It also performs well for magazine typography, institutional or cultural branding, and headlines that benefit from a classic serif voice with a touch of warmth.
The tone is classic and bookish, with an editorial authority that feels established and trustworthy. Its subtle warmth and gentle modulation add refinement without becoming ornate, balancing formality with approachability.
Designed to deliver a conventional, dependable reading experience with a refined serif vocabulary and modest calligraphic influence. The intent appears to prioritize clarity and tradition while keeping enough character for strong editorial presence.
Capitals present stately proportions with steady verticals and controlled curves, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and a conventional text rhythm. Numerals appear old-style in spirit with varied forms and a smooth, readable cadence that harmonizes with the serif structure.
