A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a subtly calligraphic construction. Curves show a gentle diagonal stress, with rounded joins and slightly tapered terminals that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. Proportions are balanced with a steady rhythm in running text; counters are generally open, and the lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar forms. Figures follow the same text-like logic, with smooth curves and restrained detailing that suits continuous reading.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a conventional serif voice is desired. It also fits institutional or heritage-oriented branding, invitations, and headlines that benefit from a refined, traditional texture without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, evoking editorial and academic settings. Its familiar serif vocabulary feels trustworthy and established, with enough warmth in the shaping to avoid an austere or mechanical impression.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar proportions, moderate contrast, and bracketed serifs aimed at comfortable readability and a credible, established voice in print-like typography.
In the samples, the face holds together well at text sizes, producing an even grayscale while preserving crisp serif definition. Capitals read as dignified and slightly formal, and the lowercase shows a classic, print-oriented character with a calm baseline and consistent spacing.
