A wide, lightly weighted serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and gently modulated strokes. The design shows open bowls and generous internal spacing, with a steady horizontal rhythm and restrained contrast that keeps text color even. Uppercase forms feel spacious and traditional, while lowercase proportions stay balanced with clear counters and uncomplicated joins. Numerals follow the same refined, text-oriented construction and sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, books, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired with a more expansive, breathable set. It can also serve display roles for headlines, pull quotes, and section openers when a refined, classical tone is needed without heavy weight.
The overall tone is composed and literary, with a quiet formality that reads as established rather than trendy. Its width and lightness give it an airy, editorial feel, suggesting careful, considered typography and a classical sensibility.
Likely intended as a conventional text serif with a wider stance, aiming for comfortable readability and a composed, traditional presence. The design prioritizes even texture, open counters, and familiar letterforms that work reliably in continuous reading and editorial layouts.
In the sample text, the wide set and open apertures help maintain clarity at larger sizes, and the moderate stroke modulation avoids sparkle while still providing a crisp serif texture. The spacing appears measured and consistent across mixed-case settings, supporting a smooth, continuous reading line.
