A conventional serif with gently bracketed serifs and softly tapered stroke endings. Curves are broad and calm, with moderate aperture and a steady rhythm that stays readable in continuous text. Proportions feel slightly compact in the lowercase, with a noticeably short x-height and relatively tall ascenders, giving lines a traditional, vertical texture. Details show mild calligraphic influence—subtle swelling and occasional angled or teardrop-like terminals—without strong stroke contrast.
Well suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also work for headlines and subheads when a literary, established voice is needed, particularly in print-like or classic branding contexts.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, evoking printed literature and editorial typography rather than contemporary minimalism. Its softened, slightly irregular detailing adds warmth and a hint of craft while remaining formal enough for general reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes steady readability while adding a modest, humanist warmth through softened terminals and bracketed serifs.
Capitals are stately and open, pairing well with the calmer lowercase rhythm in paragraph settings. Numerals appear straightforward and text-friendly, matching the serif treatment and avoiding overtly geometric styling.
