A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a moderate stroke modulation that reads comfortably in text. The letterforms show softened curves and subtly calligraphic shaping, with sturdy verticals and gently tapered joins. Counters are open and proportions feel traditional rather than compressed, with a steady rhythm across the alphabet and numerals. The lowercase includes a two-storey “g” and “a”, and figures appear lining with classic serifed structure.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve for institutional materials, academic publishing, and headlines that benefit from a traditional, literary voice without becoming overly ornate.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with a bookish, editorial character. It feels conservative and dependable, suited to contexts where familiarity and authority matter more than display novelty.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes familiar proportions, comfortable rhythm, and conventional detailing. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs aim to deliver a stable, readable page color appropriate for standard print and editorial typography.
Serifs are relatively crisp but not sharp, and the stress in rounded letters appears subtly angled, contributing to an oldstyle-like warmth. Uppercase forms remain stately and even, while the lowercase carries most of the personality through gentle curves and bracketed detailing.
