A serifed text face with moderate stroke modulation and gently bracketed serifs that soften joins and terminals. Curves are broad and calm, with open bowls and counters, while verticals stay steady and evenly weighted. The lowercase shows a compact x-height with prominent ascenders, giving the line a slightly tall, airy rhythm; round letters like o/c/e read cleanly, and the single-storey g and l with a subtle foot keep the texture uncomplicated. Numerals appear in an oldstyle (text) style with varied heights and a flowing, slightly calligraphic presence.
Well-suited to books, essays, and other longform settings where an even texture and traditional serif detailing aid comfortable reading. It also fits editorial layouts, cultural institutions, and formal communications that benefit from a classic typographic voice.
The overall tone feels literary and composed, leaning toward traditional publishing rather than contemporary minimalism. It suggests an educated, established voice—quietly authoritative without becoming ornate or fragile.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that balances clarity with a touch of calligraphic softness. Its proportions and oldstyle numerals suggest a focus on continuous reading and refined, print-like typography.
Letterforms maintain a consistent, understated warmth: terminals are rounded rather than sharply cut, and spacing produces an even paragraph color at reading sizes. The italic sample shows a restrained slant and keeps the same gentle serif treatment, supporting emphasis without a dramatic stylistic jump.
