A conventional text serif with gently bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a subtly calligraphic rhythm. Curves show a slight diagonal stress, and terminals tend to be softly rounded rather than crisp or geometric. Proportions feel moderately wide with open counters and steady spacing, supporting an even, readable texture in paragraphs. Numerals share the same serifed, traditional construction and sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and magazine layouts where a steady serif texture is desirable. It can also support traditional branding and packaging that benefits from a literary, established voice, and it holds up clearly in mixed-case headings when set with comfortable tracking.
The tone is classic and bookish, with a warm, traditional presence that recalls printed literature and editorial typography. It feels composed and familiar rather than showy, balancing formality with a human, slightly old-style character.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text face with classical proportions and subtle calligraphic influence, optimized for comfortable reading and a familiar editorial feel.
Capital forms have restrained, sturdy serifs and smooth joins, while the lowercase shows gentle modulation that helps create a calm reading rhythm. The overall color is consistent, with enough contrast to add elegance without becoming delicate.
