A classic text serif with gently bracketed serifs, tapered strokes, and subtle modulation that stays calm and even in continuous reading. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are stately with open, rounded bowls, while lowercase forms show an oldstyle, slightly calligraphic construction with flowing joins and soft terminals. The rhythm is smooth and readable, with moderate spacing and clear differentiation across similar shapes; numerals appear straightforward and harmonious with the letterforms.
Well-suited to body copy in books, magazines, and reports where a familiar serif texture and dependable readability are needed. It can also support headings and pull quotes when a classic, understated typographic character is preferred over high-contrast drama.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting editorial seriousness rather than display theatrics. Its restrained detailing and steady texture give it a composed, trustworthy voice suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif for extended text, balancing traditional proportions with a gentle, humanist softness. Details prioritize continuity and legibility, aiming for a versatile workhorse role in editorial typography.
Diagonal strokes (notably in V/W/X/Y) taper cleanly into the serifs, and curved letters maintain generous apertures that help preserve clarity at text sizes. The italic is not shown; all samples present a consistent upright roman color.
