A classic serif with softly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated strokes that keep the texture even without feeling mechanical. Curves show a subtle diagonal stress, and terminals are slightly tapered, giving the letterforms a drawn, human rhythm. Proportions read traditional: capitals are stately and wide enough to feel stable, while the lowercase has a comparatively short x-height with clear ascenders and descenders that create an open vertical cadence. Numerals and punctuation match the serifed, slightly calligraphic construction for consistent color in text.
Well suited to book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where sustained reading comfort matters. It also works for headings, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural materials that benefit from a classic serif voice without looking overly formal.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a warm, approachable seriousness. It suggests printed-book heritage and editorial restraint rather than high-fashion sharpness or overt display drama.
The design appears intended to deliver dependable, traditional serif readability with a subtly calligraphic warmth. It aims for a familiar text face feel—balanced proportions, controlled modulation, and an even rhythm—appropriate for continuous reading and general-purpose editorial use.
In paragraph settings the face produces a steady, readable texture with modest contrast and clear internal counters. The shapes lean toward rounded, humanist construction, which helps soften the presence of the serifs and keeps the page color comfortable over longer lines.
