A classic serif with gently bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation that hints at broad-nib influence without becoming decorative. Proportions feel slightly lively and uneven in a humanist way, with rounded bowls, open apertures, and subtly flared terminals that keep the texture from looking rigid. The lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies (notably the two-storey a and g), with compact joins and a steady, readable rhythm across words. Numerals share the same traditional color, with softly shaped curves and modest contrast that remains clear at text sizes.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a conventional serif texture is desired. It also works for academic materials and publications needing a dependable, traditional voice, while remaining versatile for headings and pull quotes when set a bit larger.
The overall tone is bookish and traditional, conveying familiarity and authority while still feeling approachable. Its gentle irregularities and soft serif shaping add warmth, making it feel more literary than corporate or technical.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances established book-typographic cues with a subtle humanist softness. It prioritizes steady readability and an even, familiar typographic color while keeping enough organic shaping to feel lively in paragraphs.
In continuous text, the face produces a comfortable, slightly animated page color—crisp enough for long reading, but with enough curvature and bracketed details to avoid a mechanical feel. The caps have a calm, classical presence that pairs naturally with the more personable lowercase.
