A classic serif with bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms show an oldstyle influence: rounded bowls with slightly organic curves, a modest diagonal stress, and a calm, even rhythm in text. Proportions feel traditional with moderate extenders, open counters, and a slightly sculpted, calligraphic finish in joins and stroke endings. Numerals and capitals maintain a dignified presence without feeling overly rigid or geometric.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its steady color and traditional proportions support comfortable scanning. It can also serve for institutional or corporate communications, and for brand typography that aims for heritage, credibility, and restraint.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, conveying authority and trust through familiar, book-oriented shapes. Subtle calligraphic cues add warmth and refinement, making it feel established rather than sterile or overtly modern.
The design appears intended as a dependable text serif: familiar structure, moderate modulation, and carefully shaped serifs that keep paragraphs even and readable while adding subtle classical character.
In the sample text, spacing reads comfortable and steady, supporting continuous reading. Details like the distinctive swash-like tail on the uppercase Q and the tapered, slightly flared terminals on several lowercase forms add personality while staying within a conventional text-serif voice.
