A conventional serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and a steady, moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes. Curves are generously rounded and terminals often finish with small ball or teardrop shapes, giving the lowercase a soft, traditional texture. Proportions feel balanced and slightly compact, with a sturdy vertical rhythm and clear, open counters in letters like a, e, and o. The figures appear oldstyle with varied heights and some ascenders/descenders, blending naturally into running text.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other longform reading where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It can also serve for literary or academic titling and pull quotes, where the traditional details add gravitas without feeling overly rigid.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, evoking printed literature and editorial typography. Its softened details and rounded joins temper the formality, producing a composed, trustworthy voice rather than a sharp, modern one.
The design appears intended as a dependable, print-oriented text serif that prioritizes familiar forms, steady rhythm, and comfortable readability. Subtle calligraphic cues—like rounded terminals and moderated contrast—add warmth while maintaining a conventional, professional presence.
In text, the face reads with an even color and a calm cadence, helped by consistent serif treatment and restrained stroke modulation. Uppercase letters project a traditional, inscription-like presence, while the lowercase contributes warmth through rounded bowls and occasional ball terminals.
