A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, softly modulated strokes, and a calm, even color in text. Curves are generously rounded and transitions feel calligraphic, with a slightly diagonal stress visible in round forms. The lowercase has sturdy, readable shapes with open counters and modest extenders; the overall rhythm is steady rather than tightly condensed. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, with crisp serif terminals and a measured contrast that stays comfortable at paragraph sizes.
Well-suited to book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where sustained readability is the priority. It also fits headings and pull quotes when a classic serif voice is desired, pairing naturally with traditional layout systems and text-forward design.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—formal without feeling austere. Its warmth and gentle modulation suggest a human touch suited to long-form reading and editorial settings, projecting reliability and tradition.
Designed to provide a familiar, comfortable reading experience with subtle calligraphic cues and a restrained, classical presence. The letterforms aim for clarity and steadiness in continuous text while retaining enough character for refined display use.
Numerals align with the texty character of the face, matching the same moderate contrast and serif treatment for consistent texture in mixed content. Punctuation and spacing in the sample text support clear word shapes and smooth line flow, emphasizing readability over sharp, high-contrast drama.
