A traditional serif with bracketed, gently tapered serifs and a balanced, bookish rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions and subtly calligraphic shaping, especially in curved letters and diagonal joins. Proportions are steady and readable, with open counters and slightly rounded terminals that keep the texture even in paragraph settings. Numerals appear oldstyle (with ascenders and descenders), and overall spacing feels comfortable rather than tight, supporting continuous reading.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and print or digital editorial layouts where consistent texture and comfortable spacing matter. It also works effectively for formal communication—reports, academic materials, and headings that need a traditional, trustworthy voice without high drama.
The font conveys a composed, classical tone associated with literature, academia, and established editorial design. Its restrained contrast and crisp serifs feel formal without becoming ornate, giving text a calm, authoritative presence.
The design intention reads as a contemporary, dependable text serif: classical proportions, moderate contrast, and carefully bracketing serifs aimed at clarity and sustained readability, with a few tasteful character accents for distinction in display sizes.
Uppercase forms are stately and conventional, while lowercase details (like the two-storey “g” and the gently curved “y” descender) add a subtle humanist warmth. The “Q” has a distinctive, sweeping tail that adds character without disrupting the overall restraint.
