A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, even rhythm across lines. The letterforms show oldstyle influences: rounded bowls, softened joins, and slightly calligraphic shaping, while remaining clean and regular in texture. Capitals are proportioned for headings with restrained width and sturdy verticals, and the lowercase keeps clear counters and smooth curves for comfortable continuous reading. Numerals appear lining with familiar, editorial proportions and unobtrusive contrast.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and academic or institutional materials where sustained readability matters. It can also support headings and subheads when a traditional serif tone is desired, pairing easily with understated, classic design systems.
The overall tone feels classical and literary, with a quiet authority suited to traditional publishing. Its measured contrast and conventional proportions give it a composed, trustworthy voice rather than a decorative or expressive one.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic familiarity. Its oldstyle-leaning details add warmth and tradition while keeping the overall palette conservative for broad editorial use.
Terminals and serifs stay compact and disciplined, helping maintain clarity at text sizes while still preserving a refined serif presence. The sample paragraph shows stable color and spacing, with no extreme quirks that would distract from reading.
