A classic serif with bracketed serifs and softly tapered strokes that create a steady, text-oriented rhythm. Curves are generously rounded and the joins are smooth, giving the letters a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle feel rather than a sharp modern one. Uppercase forms are balanced and stately, while lowercase shows fluid bowls and modest extenders; the two-storey “g” and “a” reinforce its traditional text pedigree. Numerals are proportional and slightly varied in width, matching the organic spacing and overall even color in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to body text for books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture and comfortable reading rhythm are needed. It also works for headings, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural materials that benefit from a traditional, literary voice.
The overall tone feels bookish and established, suggesting printed literature, editorial authority, and quiet sophistication. It reads as composed and trustworthy rather than trendy, with a gentle warmth coming from the rounded terminals and restrained contrast.
Designed to deliver a conventional, highly readable serif voice with subtle warmth and historical resonance. The aim appears to be dependable typography for continuous reading, with enough refinement to elevate editorial and literary presentation.
Serif detailing stays consistent across sizes in the sample text, maintaining clear word shapes and a calm texture. The capital forms carry a dignified presence without becoming ornamental, making the font feel comfortable in longer passages as well as in larger display lines.
