A traditional serif with softly bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a gently calligraphic rhythm. Curves are open and slightly organic rather than geometric, with subtle swelling through bowls and a steady, upright stance. Proportions feel conventional with a relatively compact x-height, giving the lowercase more vertical presence and a clearly tiered hierarchy between capitals and lowercase. Terminals and joins show mild humanist irregularity that keeps the texture lively, while spacing produces an even, comfortable paragraph color.
Well suited to book interiors, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where an even text texture and traditional serif cues aid readability. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural communications that benefit from a classic voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a warm, literary character that feels familiar and authoritative without becoming rigid. Its small inflections and restrained contrast add a human touch suited to traditional, text-forward design.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, historically rooted reading face with a humanist warmth—balancing conventional proportions and bracketed serifs with subtle calligraphic movement to keep pages from feeling mechanical.
Capitals read stately and stable, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open counters and distinct shapes. Numerals appear lining and proportioned to sit comfortably alongside uppercase text, supporting straightforward titling and text settings.
