A conventional serif with softly bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a slightly calligraphic flow. Curves are generous and open, with rounded terminals and a smooth, even rhythm across text. Uppercase forms feel balanced and traditional, while the lowercase shows humanist warmth in the bowls and joins; the italic is not shown, but the roman has gentle, pen-like shaping. Figures are proportional-looking with similarly softened details, aligning well with the text color rather than standing out as rigidly geometric.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other extended reading contexts where an even, comfortable text color is important. It can also support institutional or cultural branding—especially when a traditional, trustworthy voice is needed—while remaining unobtrusive in UI or documentation at moderate sizes.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a calm, cultivated presence suited to long-form reading. Its softened detailing and restrained contrast give it an approachable, familiar feel rather than a sharp or high-fashion personality.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar, time-tested voice. Its moderated contrast and softened, bracketed serifs aim to deliver a stable paragraph texture with a gently humanist character.
Serifs and terminals tend to end in subtly rounded, tapered shapes, which keeps counters clear and prevents the page from looking overly dark. The design maintains a steady baseline and consistent spacing, producing a smooth texture in paragraphs.
