A sturdy serif with bracketed terminals and softly sculpted strokes that suggest a mild calligraphic influence. Curves are generous and slightly flattened in places, giving counters a rounded, open feel, while serifs remain compact and gently flared rather than sharp. The lowercase is steady and readable with a moderate rhythm and comfortable spacing; joins and curves show subtle modulation that keeps the texture lively without becoming ornate. Numerals and capitals share the same solid, slightly oldstyle presence, producing an even, composed typographic color in text.
Well-suited to book interiors, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading contexts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively for headings and pull quotes when paired with a restrained layout, maintaining a classic print sensibility.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a warm, familiar voice that feels rooted in traditional print. Its soft bracketing and moderate modulation lend a humane, literary character—confident and trustworthy rather than trendy or clinical.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif with a gently oldstyle flavor—aiming for dependable text performance while retaining enough stroke shaping and bracketing to feel warm and crafted.
Across the set, the serifs favor rounded transitions and slightly thickened terminals, which helps the design feel robust at text sizes. Shapes like the round letters and diagonals maintain a consistent, slightly softened geometry that supports comfortable long-form reading.
