A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation that suggests broad-pen roots without feeling ornate. Curves are smooth and generously open, with slightly tapered joins and softly rounded terminals that keep the texture even in paragraph settings. Uppercase forms are steady and dignified, while the lowercase shows readable, traditional proportions with a two-storey “a” and “g” and clearly differentiated bowls and stems. Numerals align comfortably with the text color, featuring oldstyle-style movement and rounded shapes that match the letterforms’ rhythm.
Well suited to body copy in books, essays, and editorial layouts where sustained readability and an established typographic voice are priorities. It can also serve in academic, legal, and corporate documents, and performs nicely for headings when a traditional, authoritative serif is desired.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, evoking traditional print typography and institutional credibility. It reads as calm and familiar rather than attention-seeking, with a gently human warmth underneath its formal structure.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional reading face: familiar construction, measured contrast, and restrained detailing aimed at comfortable long-form text and a timeless page texture.
Spacing and sidebearings appear balanced for continuous reading, producing a consistent gray value across lines. The serifs are neither sharp nor slabby, and the stroke endings favor subtle flares that help maintain clarity at text sizes.
