A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a calm, even rhythm. Capitals are proportioned with traditional Roman structure—open C and G, a rounded O, and a centered crossbar on E—while curves are smoothly drawn and terminals finish cleanly without exaggerated flare. Lowercase shows a double-storey a and g, compact bowls, and a readable, slightly calligraphic taper in joins and diagonals. Numerals are old-style in feel with varied widths and gentle modulation, aligning visually with running text rather than rigidly geometric figures.
Well suited to book and editorial typography where a stable, familiar serif texture is needed for extended reading. It can also support magazine features, essays, and general-purpose body copy, pairing naturally with traditional layouts and restrained branding applications. Its conventional forms make it a reliable choice when neutrality and clarity are more important than distinctive display character.
The overall tone is literary and traditional, suggesting established print typography rather than novelty or display styling. It reads as measured and dependable, with enough sharpness in the serifs and contrast to feel refined without becoming delicate. The texture in paragraphs is steady and book-like, giving a familiar, editorial voice.
Designed to provide a traditional, readable serif voice for continuous text, balancing moderate contrast with sturdy, bracketed serifs and orthodox letterforms. The intent appears to prioritize typographic comfort and consistent paragraph texture while retaining a refined, print-oriented finish.
Spacing appears comfortable and consistent in the sample text, producing a smooth typographic color at larger text sizes. Diagonals (such as in V, W, and y) are clean and slightly tapered, and the serifs stay restrained, supporting long-form readability. The lowercase has a classic, slightly humanist warmth while remaining firmly within conventional serif expectations.
