A traditional serif with softly bracketed serifs and subtly modulated strokes. Curves are generous and slightly calligraphic, with rounded joins and a steady, readable rhythm. Capitals are sturdy and classical in proportion, while the lowercase shows compact, open forms and a two‑storey “a” and “g”. Terminals tend toward rounded or gently flared finishes, giving the design a smooth texture rather than a crisp, chiseled one.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It can also support institutional or heritage-oriented branding and headings, providing a classic voice that remains approachable in continuous text.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, evoking printed books and editorial typography. Its warm detailing and moderate modulation suggest an academic, trustworthy voice—formal without feeling austere.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes comfortable readability while retaining a touch of oldstyle warmth. Its bracketed serifs, moderated contrast, and rounded terminals aim to create an inviting, dependable page color for sustained reading.
Figures appear lining with oldstyle influence in their shapes, including curved, lively forms (notably the 2 and 3) and a slightly decorative rhythm. The sample text shows even color at paragraph sizes, with clear differentiation between similar forms and a comfortable, traditional cadence.
