A serif face with compact proportions and a steady, print-oriented rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions and bracketed serifs that flare gently rather than ending in blunt slabs. Curves are full and slightly calligraphic in their modulation, while joins and terminals stay crisp, giving counters a clean, open feel in text. The lowercase presents a straightforward, readable structure with round bowls and a compact, efficient set width; the numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and some descending forms.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a traditional serif texture is desired, as well as magazine features and literary titles that benefit from a composed, classical voice. The oldstyle figures make it especially fitting for running text that includes dates and numbers.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, like a bookish serif intended to read as established and trustworthy. Its measured contrast and restrained detailing keep it formal without becoming overly ornate, lending a calm, editorial seriousness.
The design appears intended to provide a familiar, classic serif reading experience while adding subtle individuality through gently flared, bracketed serifs, moderated contrast, and oldstyle numerals. It aims for dependable legibility with a refined, print-centric presence.
Capitals are assertive and stately, with clear serif articulation and smooth curvature that keeps them from feeling rigid. The sample text shows even color and consistent spacing, supporting continuous reading while still carrying a slightly distinctive, crafted character in certain terminals and figure shapes.
