A traditional text serif with bracketed serifs, softly tapered terminals, and modest stroke modulation that stays even and readable. The letterforms show a gentle, calligraphic influence in the curved strokes and diagonals, with balanced proportions and open counters that keep paragraphs clear. Uppercase forms are stately and restrained, while the lowercase maintains a smooth rhythm with slightly organic curves and consistent spacing. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and a flowing baseline that complements continuous text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It also fits academic and institutional materials, and works nicely for refined headings when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, leaning toward a classic, literary feel rather than a trendy display voice. It reads as trustworthy and refined, suitable for settings where tradition and clarity are valued.
This design appears intended as a conventional, highly legible text serif that prioritizes an even reading color and a timeless tone. The restrained detailing and oldstyle numerals suggest a focus on continuous text composition and traditional typography.
Serifs are neither sharp nor heavy, and joins are clean, giving the face a polished, editorial finish. Curves (notably in C, G, S, and e) feel rounded and measured, supporting a steady reading texture.
