This is a traditional serif with bracketed serifs, tapered strokes, and a gently modulated contrast that keeps the texture even in continuous text. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, with crisp terminals and moderate stroke flare, while the lowercase shows a humanist rhythm with open bowls and smooth joins. The italic is not present; the roman exhibits slightly calligraphic shaping in letters like a, e, g, and y, and the overall spacing produces a calm, bookish color. Numerals appear oldstyle (with varying heights and descenders), reinforcing a classical text-oriented construction.
It suits book interiors, essays, magazines, and other long-form editorial layouts where a stable serif texture and comfortable readability are needed. The dignified capitals and oldstyle numerals also work well for academic materials, invitations, and brand systems that want a conservative, established voice.
The tone is classic and literary, projecting maturity and quiet authority rather than display flair. Its measured contrast and traditional detailing feel editorial and institutional, suitable for settings where trust and readability are more important than novelty.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable text serif with classical proportions and restrained contrast. Its emphasis on bracketed serifs, open counters, and oldstyle numerals suggests a focus on comfortable continuous reading and traditional typographic tone.
Distinctive cues include a two-storey a, a single-storey g with a small ear, and a Q with a flowing tail, all contributing to a slightly humanist, Renaissance-leaning character. The figures’ varying heights add a traditional cadence that pairs naturally with running text and small typographic details.
