A classic text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke modulation. The letterforms show moderate contrast with smooth transitions into terminals, producing a calm, even texture in paragraphs. Capitals are proportioned and stately, while the lowercase has rounded bowls, open apertures, and softly modeled joins that keep counters clear. The numerals read as oldstyle figures, with varied heights and lively curves that integrate naturally with running text.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and academic documents, where a stable text color and clear counters support comfortable flow. It also works effectively for editorial layouts, magazine features, and formal communications that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed books and established editorial typography. Its restrained detailing and steady rhythm feel credible and composed, with just enough warmth in the curves and terminals to avoid sterility.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that balances classical proportions with approachable, slightly calligraphic detailing. By pairing sturdy capitals, readable lowercase forms, and oldstyle figures, it aims to perform in continuous text while maintaining an established, editorial character.
Serif shapes tend toward tapered, slightly flared endings rather than blunt slabs, and many strokes finish with subtle teardrop or hooked terminals. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a consistent roman voice across mixed case and punctuation.
