A sturdy serif with gently bracketed, slightly flared serifs and softly modulated strokes. Curves are full and rounded, with a generous feel in the bowls and counters, while joins and terminals lean toward subtle calligraphic shaping rather than rigid geometry. The lowercase shows a double-storey “a” and “g”, a compact, balanced rhythm, and a mild diagonal stress that reads clearly in the round letters. Numerals and capitals are solid and confident, with the “Q” featuring a distinctive sweeping tail and the “R” showing a traditional leg structure.
Well-suited to body text in books, long-form articles, and editorial layouts where a steady, readable serif is needed. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and brand applications that want a classic tone with approachable shaping.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with an inviting warmth and a quietly authoritative presence. It suggests familiar print typography—serious without feeling austere—making it comfortable for extended reading while still carrying a touch of personality in key details like the “Q” and curved terminals.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional text serif with classic proportions and restrained personality, prioritizing readability and a familiar printed voice while incorporating a few distinctive, traditional details for character.
Spacing appears comfortable and even, supporting a smooth text color in paragraph settings. The serifs and terminals stay consistent across cases, and the design avoids extremes—neither too sharp nor overly softened—resulting in a dependable, broadly usable texture.
