A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle construction. The capitals are sturdy and evenly proportioned with clear, flared terminals and smooth joins; curves show gentle modulation rather than geometric rigidity. Lowercase forms are compact and readable, with a two-storey “a,” a double-storey “g” featuring a small ear, and softly tapered strokes that keep counters open. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), with varied heights and several descending forms, reinforcing a literary, text-forward rhythm.
Well-suited for continuous reading in books, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a familiar serif texture is desired. It also fits academic or institutional materials, reports, and brand collateral that benefit from a traditional, dependable typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting editorial credibility and a quietly formal voice. Its restrained contrast and well-shaped serifs feel established and traditional without becoming ornate, giving text a composed, authoritative presence.
This font appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and an established typographic color. Its moderated contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle proportions point to comfortable long-form performance while preserving a touch of classical, calligraphic refinement.
The design maintains a consistent serif treatment across rounds and straights, and the spacing in the sample text reads even and steady. Details like the long-tailed “Q,” the sturdy diagonals of “V/W,” and the gently curved “y” descender add subtle character while staying within conventional text-serif expectations.
