A classic serif with bracketed serifs and gently sculpted, calligraphic stroke modulation. Letterforms show moderate contrast with smooth transitions into terminals, and a slightly oldstyle flavor in the lowercase, including a two-storey “a” and “g.” The set has sturdy verticals, open counters, and a balanced rhythm that reads comfortably in paragraph settings while still holding crisp detail at larger sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, articles, and editorial layouts where an even text color and familiar serif construction support comfortable scanning. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and section titles that benefit from a classic, trustworthy voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a composed, editorial presence. Its shapes feel established and slightly warm rather than starkly modern, suggesting authority without becoming rigid or severe.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar publishing aesthetic. Its restrained contrast and bracketed serifs aim for dependable performance across continuous text and display sizes without calling excessive attention to the letterforms.
Capitals are stately and proportioned for headings, while the lowercase maintains an even texture with modestly rounded joins and softened terminals. Numerals appear lining and serifed, matching the text color and maintaining clear differentiation between similar forms.
