A classic text serif with bracketed serifs, subtly modulated strokes, and a steady, readable color. Curves show a slight diagonal stress, with rounded joins and gently tapered terminals that feel more calligraphic than mechanical. Capitals are sturdy and slightly wide-set, while lowercase forms lean oldstyle in construction, with a two‑storey “g” and “a” and rounded, open counters that keep paragraphs from feeling tight. Numerals follow the same traditional rhythm, with clear shapes and modest contrast suited to continuous reading.
Well suited for long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts, where its even rhythm and open counters support comfortable text flow. It also works effectively for institutional or academic materials, captions, and pull quotes that benefit from a conventional, trustworthy serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting a calm, scholarly voice. It feels familiar and authoritative without looking severe, making it well suited to contexts where credibility and clarity matter.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that balances classic book typography with practical clarity. Its moderated contrast and bracketed serifs aim for durability across paragraphs while retaining a gently humanist character.
The font’s details read cleanly at text sizes, with moderate contrast that adds refinement without becoming fragile. The serif shaping and curved terminals give it a warm, slightly historical flavor that remains comfortably contemporary in setting.
