A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and softly sculpted stroke endings. The design shows moderate-to-high contrast with a subtly calligraphic stress, giving round letters a gently tapered, slightly organic feel. Proportions are comfortable and on the wider side, with generous counters and open apertures that keep text from feeling cramped. Curves and joins are smooth rather than sharp, and the overall rhythm is steady and readable across both capitals and lowercase.
Well suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture and comfortable spacing support long reading. It can also serve for headings and subheads in print or digital contexts when a traditional, literary tone is desired.
The tone is classic and bookish, with a quietly formal, traditional presence. It suggests printed literature and editorial settings more than display novelty, conveying trust and familiarity without feeling stiff.
The design appears aimed at dependable, everyday typography: a conventional serif with enough contrast and refinement to feel polished, while maintaining open forms and steady rhythm for continuous reading.
Notable are the soft, slightly flared terminals and the gently bracketed serifs that add warmth. Numerals appear traditional and text-friendly, with clear differentiation and consistent weight to match the letters.
