A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and pronounced stroke contrast. Curves are smooth and generous, with ball terminals and teardrop-like endings appearing in several lowercase forms, giving a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle flavor. Capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, while lowercase shows lively modulation and a readable rhythm; counters are open and well-shaped. Numerals are proportional with clear differentiation and rounded forms that match the text color of the letters.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif tone is desired. It can also support formal branding, packaging, and invitations, especially when set with generous leading to showcase the contrast and terminal detailing.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a formal, editorial voice. Its high-contrast modulation and traditional detailing suggest refinement rather than neutrality, lending a sense of heritage and seriousness to headings and text.
The design appears intended as a broadly usable, traditional text serif that balances strong typographic convention with subtle calligraphic cues. It aims for dependable readability while providing enough character for editorial display and refined titling.
The sample text shows a steady, comfortable texture at larger reading sizes, with distinctive terminals and a gently varied rhythm that avoids looking geometric. The ampersand and the curved-tailed Q add a slightly decorative, bookish character without becoming ornate.
