A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a gently calligraphic rhythm. The letterforms show slightly softened joins and tapered terminals, with a balanced, oldstyle-like structure in the lowercase (notably a double‑storey a and a two‑storey g). Capitals are steady and well-proportioned with clear, slightly flared serifs and open counters, while the numerals follow the same restrained contrast and serif treatment for consistent color in text.
Well-suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and consistent text color are priorities. It can also serve effectively for headings and subheads that need a traditional, authoritative feel without high-contrast fragility.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a quiet formality that feels at home in established editorial and academic contexts. Its moderate contrast and traditional detailing suggest refinement without appearing overly ornate or delicate.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and an established typographic voice. Its restrained contrast, bracketed serifs, and classic proportions aim to deliver a comfortable, timeless reading experience across continuous text.
Curves and bowls are generously open, supporting clarity at reading sizes, while the serifs remain crisp enough to give lines a defined baseline and capline. The sample text shows even texture and comfortable spacing, producing a stable paragraph gray with a mild, humanist warmth.
