A traditional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and clearly calligraphic stroke modulation. The letterforms show moderate contrast with tapered joins and subtly flared terminals, producing a lively yet controlled rhythm in text. Capitals are stately and balanced with slightly triangular apexes and gently cupped horizontals, while lowercase forms feature compact bowls, a two-storey “a,” and a single-storey “g” with a pronounced ear. Numerals follow the same classic construction, with clear differentiation and elegant curves suited to continuous reading.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a conventional serif voice is desired. It can also support formal reports, academic materials, and institutional communications, and scales up cleanly for headings, pull quotes, and section titles when a classic tone is needed.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting established editorial typography and institutional credibility. Its controlled elegance reads as formal without feeling cold, and the gentle calligraphic cues add warmth and tradition. In larger settings it conveys refinement and authority, while in paragraphs it feels familiar and steady.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and familiar typographic manners while retaining a refined, slightly oldstyle character. Its measured contrast and bracketed serifs aim to create an even reading texture with enough personality for high-quality editorial work.
Spacing appears even and text color is consistent, supporting comfortable paragraph texture. Several glyphs show softly sculpted curves and slightly angled stress, which helps keep the design from feeling mechanical. The x-height and ascender/descender balance feels conventional, giving the font a dependable, book-oriented proportion.
