A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a gently calligraphic rhythm. Curves are open and smooth, with rounded joins and slightly tapered terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming sharp or brittle. Proportions feel balanced and readable, with sturdy stems, clear apertures, and familiar, book-oriented letterforms; numerals appear lining and evenly weighted for paragraph use.
Well suited for book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where sustained readability and a familiar serif texture are priorities. It should also perform well in magazines, reports, and academic materials, and can support tasteful display sizing for headings when a traditional voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying editorial seriousness and quiet refinement. It reads as trustworthy and traditional, suited to contexts that benefit from a cultured, established voice rather than a trendy or experimental one.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose serif for continuous reading, combining traditional proportions with enough stroke modulation and bracketed detailing to feel refined in print- and editorial-style settings.
The capitals present a measured, stately presence while remaining compatible with continuous text, and the lowercase maintains a steady color at reading sizes. The italics are not shown; the samples emphasize upright roman performance with consistent spacing and a calm, even cadence across mixed-case text.
