A text-oriented serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and softly tapered terminals. The outlines show a gently calligraphic influence: curves are slightly sheared and joints are rounded, giving the letterforms a warm, organic rhythm rather than a sharply geometric feel. Proportions are balanced with a steady cap height and a moderate x-height; counters stay open and the overall color is even in paragraph settings. Numerals appear to be oldstyle (ranging/descending), matching the lowercase rhythm and reinforcing a bookish texture.
It is well suited to book interiors, essays, and other extended reading environments where consistent texture and comfortable serif detailing matter. It also fits editorial layouts—magazines, journals, and reports—where a traditional serif voice supports hierarchy without calling attention to itself.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and familiar, with a quiet elegance suited to long-form reading. Its understated contrast and softly modeled details read as traditional and trustworthy, evoking editorial and academic contexts rather than display-driven styling.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with a touch of calligraphic modeling, prioritizing an even paragraph color and familiar forms. The inclusion of oldstyle numerals suggests an emphasis on typographic tradition and harmonious integration of figures within running text.
Distinctive details include gently flared or teardrop-like terminals on some strokes, a subtly cupped approach to certain serifs, and a slightly lively baseline behavior in the lowercase that keeps the texture from feeling rigid. Uppercase forms remain stately and conventional, while the lowercase and figures provide most of the warmth and character.
