A traditional serif with gently bracketed, wedge-like serifs and softly modulated strokes. Curves are round and open, with a slightly calligraphic feel in the joins and terminals rather than sharp geometric construction. The lowercase shows compact, well-balanced proportions with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a modestly sized dot on “i/j,” producing an even, readable texture in text. Numerals are lining with classic proportions and clear differentiation, matching the steady rhythm of the letters.
Well suited for body copy in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady rhythm and clear word shapes matter. It can also work for academic or institutional material, captions, and other text-forward applications that benefit from a conventional, familiar serif voice.
The overall tone is classical and literary, evoking printed book typography and editorial calm. Its restrained detailing and warm serif shaping feel familiar and trustworthy, leaning more toward timeless reading comfort than display drama.
Likely designed to provide a dependable, conventional reading serif with a slightly calligraphic softness—prioritizing legibility, smooth text flow, and a classic page-like texture over overt stylization.
The italic is not shown; the sample indicates consistent spacing and a smooth text color at larger sizes, with enough serif presence to guide the eye along lines. Uppercase forms read formal but not overly rigid, while the lowercase carries most of the warmth through its curved bowls and flared terminals.
