A conventional serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke feel. Strokes show moderated thick–thin movement without becoming delicate, and terminals often finish with soft, rounded shapes that keep the texture warm. Uppercase forms are sturdy and classical, while the lowercase uses compact, readable construction with a two-storey “a” and “g” and a straightforward, editorial rhythm. Figures appear oldstyle/ text-like in proportion, mixing ascenders and descenders that blend naturally with running text.
Well suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and magazine text where a stable serif texture is needed. It also works effectively for academic or institutional materials, reports, and other typography that benefits from a familiar, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is bookish and traditional, with a familiar, editorial voice that suggests printed matter and established institutions. Its calm, slightly humanist detailing feels approachable rather than austere, giving paragraphs a steady, literary color.
The font appears designed as a general-purpose text serif meant to echo traditional print typography while staying robust and legible in continuous reading. Its moderate contrast and softly bracketed detailing aim for an unobtrusive, comfortable reading experience.
The design favors comfortable readability over sharp geometry: curves are generous, joins are softly modeled, and serifs are neither razor-thin nor heavy. In text, spacing and letterfit produce an even, conventional page texture that reads as quietly confident.
