A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, gently tapered strokes, and a calm, even rhythm in text. The capitals are stately and open, with moderate proportions and clear internal counters, while the lowercase shows an oldstyle influence through softly modulated curves and a slightly calligraphic flow. Terminals are mostly rounded or subtly flared rather than sharp, and the overall drawing balances crisp edges with smooth joins for comfortable continuous reading.
This font is well suited to book typography, magazines, journals, and other editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice is desired. It can also support formal documents and longer-form reading environments, pairing well with restrained, content-forward design.
The tone is classic and literary, suggesting established print conventions rather than overt display styling. It feels formal and trustworthy, with a reserved elegance that reads well in longer passages and editorial settings.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, highly readable serif for sustained text, combining classical proportions with gentle stroke modulation to keep the page color smooth and composed.
Numerals appear proportional and text-friendly, with clear differentiation (notably the open forms of 3, 5, and 6 and the rounded 8). The sample text shows stable spacing and consistent color, producing an unobtrusive texture suited to paragraph work.
