This serif has a traditional, oldstyle construction with gently bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation. Round letters show an oblique stress and generous, open counters, giving the face an even, readable color in text. Capitals are stately and slightly wide, while lowercase forms are smooth and flowing with a two‑storey “a” and a double‑storey “g,” and rounded terminals that soften the rhythm. Numerals follow the same classic text-seriffed logic, with clear shapes and comfortable spacing that suit continuous reading.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It also works for headings, captions, and formal documents that benefit from a traditional, polished voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting established editorial typography rather than display novelty. It feels formal without being rigid, with a quiet warmth that reads as literary and trustworthy.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes steady rhythm, clear word shapes, and a time-tested, literary character. Its balanced contrast and bracketed serifs point to an aim of comfortable readability with a refined, classic finish.
Stroke endings are clean and controlled, with serifs that stay refined rather than heavy, helping the face remain crisp at larger sizes while still feeling comfortable in paragraph settings. The italic is not shown, but the roman exhibits a mild calligraphic influence through its stress and curve handling.
