This typeface is an old-style serif with bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and a slightly calligraphic construction. Curves are open and round with a steady, even rhythm, while verticals remain firm without feeling rigid. The serifs are tapered and smoothly joined, and many terminals show subtle flare or soft shaping rather than sharp, abrupt cuts. Lowercase forms read comfortably in text, with a moderate x-height, rounded bowls, and a generally humanist proportioning that avoids mechanical symmetry.
It performs well for extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an inviting, classical serif texture is desired. It also suits reports, academic material, and cultural or institutional communication that benefits from a traditional, well-mannered typographic tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a warm, traditional voice that feels familiar rather than ornate. It conveys a calm, trustworthy presence suited to reading and long-form communication, leaning more literary and scholarly than corporate or purely modern.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, comfortable old-style reading face with humanist warmth and restrained refinement, balancing historical cues with practical clarity for continuous text.
Capitals are dignified and slightly wide with balanced, understated detailing, while the lowercase maintains an even color across lines of text. Numerals appear sturdy and legible with clear silhouettes and restrained contrast, matching the text-centric character of the design.
