A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle skeleton. The capitals have broad, open bowls and a calm, even rhythm, with wedge-like terminals and softened joins that keep the texture smooth at text sizes. Lowercase forms show rounded counters and a flowing baseline presence, including a two-storey “g” with a prominent ear and a traditional “a,” contributing to an organic, bookish color. Numerals are proportional and serifed, with clear differentiation and restrained contrast that reads comfortably in continuous settings.
Well suited to book interiors, editorial layouts, and other text-forward applications where an even, comfortable rhythm matters. It can also support titles, pull quotes, and report headings when a traditional serif voice is desired without excessive sharpness or display-style contrast.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying authority without feeling rigid. Its softened transitions and traditional detailing suggest a humanist influence that feels familiar in long-form reading and quietly formal in headings.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose reading serif: traditional in structure, moderately refined in contrast, and tuned for a steady, approachable typographic color across paragraphs and mixed-case settings.
Spacing appears generous and the outlines lean toward open apertures and stable proportions, producing a readable, slightly warm page texture. The serifs are not abrupt; their bracketing and moderate contrast help keep strokes from looking brittle, especially in mixed-case sample text.
