A conventional text serif with slender strokes and gently bracketed serifs. The letterforms show an oldstyle influence through softly modulated curves and tapered terminals, with smooth transitions into serifs rather than abrupt slab-like endings. Counters are open and the rhythm is even, giving paragraphs a quiet, steady texture. Capitals are stately and round where appropriate (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and readable joins; numerals appear proportional and consistent in color with the letters.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively in academic or institutional materials, and in refined display settings such as titles, pull quotes, and formal invitations when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting refinement without heaviness. Its restrained contrast and measured detailing convey a composed, editorial feel suitable for serious, long-form reading. The design reads as familiar and dependable, with a subtle touch of classic elegance.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose roman for comfortable reading, balancing classical serif conventions with clean, contemporary drawing. Its choices prioritize clarity and a consistent text rhythm while preserving a timeless, literary character.
Stroke endings tend to taper into small, sharp serifs and teardrop-like terminals, which adds crispness at larger sizes. The italic is not shown, and the sample emphasizes a clean roman text color with clear word shapes and stable spacing.
