This serif has a traditional, oldstyle-leaning construction with bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes. Curves are smooth and round with open counters, while terminals often finish with subtle hooks or teardrop-like forms that suggest a calligraphic influence. Proportions feel balanced and text-oriented: capitals are dignified and relatively wide, lowercase forms are steady with a modest x-height, and spacing reads even in paragraph settings. Numerals appear lining and proportional, matching the same restrained contrast and serif treatment.
Well-suited for book typography, editorial layouts, and other text-heavy applications where a familiar serif rhythm supports comfortable reading. It can also work for institutional or heritage-leaning branding, invitations, and headings when a refined, traditional voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying a composed, editorial voice rather than a loud or decorative one. Its restrained detailing and familiar rhythm give it a trustworthy, established feel suitable for long-form reading and traditional branding.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a subtle calligraphic accent, aiming to provide a comfortable reading texture and a timeless, dependable presence across both display sizes and continuous text.
Distinctive details include a two-storey "g" with a pronounced ear, a traditional "Q" with a small tail, and a slightly curved, lively "y" and "j" that add warmth without disrupting the otherwise formal texture. The italic is not shown, and the roman maintains consistent stroke modulation across letters and figures.
