A classic serif with gently bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a smooth, rounded rhythm through curves and joins. The proportions are slightly generous with comfortable counters and a stable baseline feel, while terminals and serifs stay controlled and conventional rather than sharp or ornamental. Overall texture is even and readable, with subtle old-style influences that keep it from feeling strictly modern.
Well suited to book and long-form reading, including novels, nonfiction, and academic or institutional publishing. It also fits editorial design such as magazines, reports, and essays where a classic serif voice is desired, and it can support headings and subheads when set a bit larger for a confident, traditional tone.
This face reads as traditional and literary, with a calm, steady tone that feels familiar and trustworthy. Its softly old-style flavor and slightly calligraphic warmth give it a humane, editorial voice rather than a cold, corporate one.

The figures appear clear and traditionally styled, and the letterforms maintain a consistent, unforced rhythm across upper- and lowercase. Overall it favors familiar, time-tested shapes with restrained detailing, supporting a clean, steady typographic texture.
