A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sturdy, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic stress, with rounded joins and a rhythmic, somewhat lively color rather than a strictly mechanical texture. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and steady, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with clear counters and slightly varied character widths that keep paragraphs from looking rigid. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), with ascenders and descenders that blend naturally into running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books and essays, as well as editorial layouts in magazines and journals. It can also serve for headings and pull quotes where a traditional serif voice and strong typographic presence are desired.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting authority and familiarity. It reads as traditional and editorial, with a subtle warmth from its calligraphic contrast and softly shaped terminals.
Designed to deliver a familiar, readable text-serif experience with noticeable contrast and robust serifs, balancing classic proportioning with enough liveliness to keep setting from feeling stiff.
In text, the contrast and strong serifs give clear word shapes and a confident baseline presence, while the variable widths and rounded detailing add a gentle, humanist cadence. The bold sample suggests it holds up well at display sizes, where the bracketed serifs and modulation become more expressive.
