A traditional serif with bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions and slightly flared, tapered terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming ornate. Proportions lean a bit narrow in places with a steady rhythm and comfortable spacing; the lowercase features a two-storey a and g, a modestly sized x-height, and rounded bowls that read cleanly in text. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and curves that blend naturally into paragraph settings.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It can also support formal communications—programs, invitations, and institutional materials—especially when paired with generous leading and margins.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, evoking established publishing and editorial typography. Its restrained contrast and softened details feel composed and trustworthy, with a mildly warm, humanist undercurrent rather than a rigid, mechanical finish.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif that balances traditional forms with subtle calligraphic softness for comfortable, continuous reading.
Several letters show small calligraphic cues—curved joins, subtly hooked or tapered ends, and a slightly dynamic feel in diagonals (notably in K, R, and y). The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright and consistent in color across lines.
