A conventional serif with subtly calligraphic construction and bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes show moderate modulation with softly swelling curves and slightly tapered joins, giving the letterforms an oldstyle-leaning texture. Capitals are sturdy and fairly wide with confident, flared finishing strokes, while lowercase forms keep open counters and a rounded, readable rhythm. Numerals align with the same serifed, gently modulated treatment, and overall spacing reads comfortable rather than tight, supporting continuous text.
It performs well in body copy for books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. The sturdy capitals and clear lowercase shapes also make it suitable for headings, pull quotes, and introductory text in print or screen settings that aim for a classic reading experience.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with a warm, familiar presence. Its gently lively modulation and slightly informal shaping keep it from feeling overly rigid, suggesting an approachable traditional voice suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a familiar, general-purpose text serif that balances tradition with a mild calligraphic warmth. It prioritizes steady paragraph color and readability while adding just enough modulation and serif character to feel crafted rather than purely mechanical.
Curves and diagonals feel subtly hand-influenced, with softened corners and terminals that avoid sharp, high-contrast crispness. The sample text shows an even gray value across lines, with enough character in the serifs and joins to add texture without becoming decorative.
