This serif presents a traditional book-face structure with gently bracketed serifs and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes show moderate modulation, with rounded joins and subtly tapered terminals that keep the texture smooth rather than sharp. Proportions lean classical: capitals are stately and wide-set, lowercase has open counters and a measured x-height, and spacing reads comfortable in continuous text. The numerals appear oldstyle, mixing ascenders and descenders for an integrated, text-friendly color.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and comfortable reading texture are priorities. It can also support institutional or heritage branding, especially in headlines and subheads paired with generous leading.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting authority without feeling overly rigid. Its restrained detailing and steady rhythm convey a refined, editorial voice suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif for sustained text, combining classical proportions with moderate contrast and unobtrusive detailing to maintain clarity across paragraphs.
Curved letters like C, G, and S emphasize soft, calligraphic shaping, while diagonals in V/W/X remain controlled and balanced. The ampersand follows the same traditional, serifed construction, reinforcing a conventional text aesthetic.
