This is a traditional serif with gently bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a calm, even rhythm. Forms show subtly calligraphic shaping: tapered terminals on curves, slightly flared stroke endings, and a soft diagonal stress in round letters. Uppercase proportions feel sturdy and bookish, while the lowercase has compact counters and a measured, readable texture; the italic-like movement is not present, but many letters carry lively, angled finishing details. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), with varying heights and descenders that blend naturally with running text.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. The crisp serifs and lively terminals also make it effective for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and classical-styled branding that needs a credible, established voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed books and editorial typography rather than stark modernism. Its sharp yet restrained serifing and warm modulation convey authority and tradition without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional text serif with a touch of calligraphic flavor—prioritizing readability and an even typographic color while retaining enough character in terminals and figures to feel distinctive in both text and display sizes.
Distinctive cues include a two-storey “g” with a small ear, a beaked top on the lowercase “t,” and a “Q” with a flowing tail that stands out in display settings. The ampersand and punctuation integrate comfortably with the same serifed, moderately contrasty logic, helping maintain a cohesive page color across mixed text.
