This serif typeface shows a traditional text structure with bracketed serifs, a moderate-to-high stroke contrast, and a calm, upright stance. Curves are round and open, while joins and terminals stay crisp, giving the face a clean rhythm in paragraphs. Proportions feel bookish with moderate widths and steady spacing, and the lowercase forms read smoothly at text sizes. Several letters include gently calligraphic, slightly tapered terminals, adding a subtle humanist flavor without becoming ornate.
It is well suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable text color and crisp contrast help maintain clarity. The refined serifs and classic character also make it appropriate for headings, institutional materials, and upscale branding where a traditional voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying refinement and quiet authority. It feels suited to established institutions and editorial contexts, balancing formality with an approachable, human warmth.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif with a timeless feel, combining classical proportions with small, characterful details to keep the page lively without distracting from content.
Distinctive details include a single-storey lowercase “g” with a curled ear and a small, expressive tail on the “Q,” plus oldstyle-style figures with varying heights and a descending “9.” The uppercase has restrained, traditional proportions, and the italics are not shown; the roman maintains a consistent, composed texture across the sample text.
