A classic text serif with bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and a steady, comfortable rhythm. The letterforms show oldstyle influence: round characters have slightly organic, not perfectly geometric curves, and serifs end in tapered, wedge-like terminals rather than blunt slabs. Lowercase proportions feel balanced with a moderately sized x-height, while ascenders and capitals provide clear vertical presence. Numerals and capitals maintain the same restrained, editorial tone, with consistent weight distribution and clean joins.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, reports, and editorial layouts where a conventional serif voice is desired. It also fits headings and pull quotes when a classic, authoritative texture is needed, especially in print-oriented designs.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, evoking printed literature, academic settings, and editorial typography. Its calm contrast and familiar proportions read as trustworthy and established, with a subtle calligraphic warmth that keeps it from feeling sterile.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional serif for general-purpose reading, prioritizing familiarity, steady color on the page, and a polished, literary character.
Spacing appears even and unforced in the sample text, supporting continuous reading. The design avoids overt quirks, but retains small humanist details in terminals and curves that add texture at larger sizes without distracting at text sizes.
