This serif typeface shows bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and softly tapered terminals that give it an oldstyle, book-oriented texture. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned with moderate width and clear, open counters. The lowercase has a rounded, slightly calligraphic construction with smooth joins, a two-storey “g,” and a balanced rhythm that reads comfortably in continuous text. Numerals follow the same classical logic, with clear shapes and moderate contrast that stays consistent across the set.
Well-suited to books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even, comfortable reading rhythm is important. It also fits formal communications and identity systems that want a classic serif presence without high-contrast sharpness.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed books, editorial typography, and established institutions. Its restrained contrast and softened detailing feel approachable rather than austere, giving text a calm, composed voice suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an oldstyle foundation: steady proportions, moderate stroke modulation, and softened bracketed serifs aimed at sustained readability and a timeless printed-page character.
Serifs and terminals are noticeably bracketed and not overly sharp, which helps maintain a steady text color. The italic is not shown, but the roman exhibits subtle calligraphic influence in letters like “a,” “e,” and “s,” and the punctuation and figures appear designed to harmonize with running text.
