A traditional serif with gently bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms show an oldstyle influence: bowls and curves feel organic, with a slightly lively baseline rhythm and subtle, calligraphic shaping in joins and ears. Uppercase proportions are balanced and dignified, while the lowercase has open counters and a smooth, readable flow. Numerals follow the same calm, text-oriented construction, with clear forms and modest ornament in the serifs and terminals.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books, journals, and editorial layouts, where a steady text color and comfortable rhythm matter. It can also work effectively for headlines and section titles when a traditional, cultured tone is desired, especially in print-like branding or institutional materials.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed pages and editorial typography rather than a stark or technical voice. Its softened details and restrained contrast give it a friendly, human quality that still reads as formal and established.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, conventional reading face with a touch of warmth—prioritizing paragraph comfort and a familiar serif voice while avoiding overly sharp or high-contrast dramatics.
Serifs are not sharp or slabby; instead they taper into the stems with noticeable bracketing, which contributes to a smooth texture in paragraphs. Curves are generous and counters remain open, helping the type maintain clarity in continuous text while retaining a subtly handcrafted character.
