A compact, old-style serif with bracketed serifs and subtly modulated strokes. The letterforms show calligraphic influence in the gently tapered terminals and the slightly organic, hand-informed curves, while maintaining a clean, disciplined rhythm. Counters are moderately open and the joins feel smooth rather than mechanical; diagonals (V, W, Y) are sharp and well-anchored by small, firm serifs. Numerals and capitals share a restrained, editorial texture, with round forms (O, Q) kept steady and oval, and a generally tight, text-ready footprint.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture and steady reading rhythm are desired. It can also support academic or institutional materials, and it adapts nicely to classic brand identities or packaging that benefits from a refined, literary tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting printed literature, academic work, and traditional publishing. Its measured contrast and compact proportions communicate seriousness and clarity without feeling cold, giving it a familiar, scholarly presence on the page.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, traditional reading experience with an old-style warmth—balancing modest stroke modulation and bracketed serifs to produce a calm, familiar page color suited to sustained text.
In running text the typeface maintains an even gray value with a slightly lively, human rhythm. The lowercase appears compact with relatively small internal space, while ascenders and capitals provide a clear vertical structure, helping the face feel formal and composed at paragraph sizes.
