A classic serif with gently flared, bracketed terminals and a steady, low-contrast stroke modulation. The letterforms show softly tapered stems, smooth curves, and moderate, open counters, producing an even texture in text. Proportions feel balanced and slightly book-oriented rather than condensed, with clearly differentiated capitals and a straightforward, readable lowercase.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a stable, familiar serif texture is desired. It also works for headlines, pull quotes, and brand systems that benefit from a classic, premium tone without high-contrast fragility.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a quiet elegance that reads as literary and trustworthy. Its mild calligraphic shaping adds warmth without becoming ornate, lending a familiar, established voice suitable for formal communication.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, print-friendly serif with subtle flaring and softened transitions, aiming for readability and a timeless, cultivated character rather than display drama.
Capitals present clear, stately forms with restrained detailing, while the lowercase maintains consistent rhythm and spacing for continuous reading. Numerals appear sturdy and legible, matching the serif language and maintaining the same calm, print-centric presence.
