This typeface is a conventional serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and softly modulated strokes. Curves are round and slightly calligraphic, while verticals stay steady, creating an even, text-forward rhythm. Proportions are compact with narrow letterforms and relatively small counters, and the lowercase shows a modest x-height with long, expressive extenders. Terminals are mostly tapered or subtly hooked, and the numerals follow the same oldstyle influence, with curving forms and varied widths that keep the texture lively.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial, and other reading-centric settings where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also work for headings, pull quotes, and covers when a traditional, cultured tone is needed without looking overly ornate.
The overall tone feels literary and traditional, with a quiet refinement associated with classic book typography. Its slightly calligraphic joins and tapered details add warmth, giving it an academic, editorial character rather than a clinical or geometric one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, readable serif with a subtly oldstyle, calligraphic flavor, balancing tradition with enough distinctive detailing to feel authored rather than purely generic.
In the sample text, the type maintains a consistent color at larger text sizes, with distinctive shapes in letters like g, y, and j that add personality. The narrow proportions and tight internal spaces can make lines feel dense, which suits serious text but may want a bit more leading in long passages.
