A classic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves show a gentle diagonal stress, with rounded joins that keep the texture smooth rather than sharp. Capitals are sturdy and relatively broad with crisp terminals; the lowercase has a moderate x-height, compact bowls, and small, clean apertures that create an even, bookish rhythm. Numerals follow the same oldstyle logic, mixing straight and curved strokes with subtle bracketing and soft foot serifs for a cohesive, traditional color on the page.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and strong typographic color are desirable. It can also serve for headings, pull quotes, and institutional materials that benefit from a traditional, credible tone.
The overall tone is conservative and literary, with a calm authority typical of established editorial typography. Its contrast and tapered serifs add a refined, slightly historic flavor, suggesting printed tradition rather than contemporary minimalism.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for comfortable reading and a classic printed feel, balancing strong contrast with smooth bracketing to maintain an even rhythm across longer passages.
Spacing and proportions create a steady, readable texture in paragraph settings, while the higher contrast gives headings a dignified presence. The italic is not shown in the samples, and the displayed forms lean toward transitional/oldstyle manners rather than geometric or slab-like constructions.
