A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a slightly calligraphic, humanist stress. The curves are round and open, with softened terminals and a gentle, readable rhythm rather than rigid geometry. Capitals feel sturdy and traditionally proportioned, while lowercase shows a clear two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a generally even, text-forward color. Numerals read as oldstyle figures, with varying heights and extenders that blend naturally into running text.
Well suited to body copy in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and comfortable texture are desired. It can also support headlines and pull quotes at larger sizes, and works for formal communications or heritage-inspired identity systems.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, conveying tradition and credibility without feeling austere. Its warmth and subtle irregularities add a personable, literary character suited to long-form reading and heritage-leaning branding.
Designed to deliver a dependable, traditional reading experience with a touch of warmth—pairing conventional serif structure with modest, calligraphic modulation and text-friendly proportions.
Letterforms show careful bracketing at joins and a slightly lively baseline feel, creating a natural texture in paragraphs. The italic is not shown; the visible style relies on roman contrast and serif shaping to provide emphasis and hierarchy.
