A conventional serif with softly bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and gently tapered terminals that give the letterforms a slightly calligraphic feel. Proportions lean broad with generous bowls and open counters, while the curves are smooth and the joins are rounded rather than sharp. Capitals feel sturdy and evenly paced; the lowercase shows a familiar text rhythm with a two-storey a and g, compact apertures, and calm, upright construction. Figures are lining with clear shapes and modest contrast, matching the text color and cadence of the letters.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where a stable, familiar serif texture is desirable. It can also support academic or institutional materials and restrained branding that benefits from a classic, trustworthy voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, projecting a dependable, edited-page sensibility rather than a display-forward personality. Its softened serifs and rounded details add warmth, making it feel approachable and suited to sustained reading.
The font appears intended as a versatile, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and a traditional page-like texture, with just enough stroke modulation and serif bracketing to keep the forms lively and refined.
The design maintains consistent serif treatment across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing an even typographic color. Subtle flare and terminal shaping add character without becoming decorative, keeping the texture steady in paragraph settings.
