A traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and subtly tapered stems that suggest a mild calligraphic influence. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, with open apertures and clear counters that keep the texture readable at text sizes. Capitals feel stately and slightly wide, while the lowercase shows a straightforward, bookish construction with a single-storey g, a two-storey a, and a gently curved tail on the Q. Numerals are proportional and lining, matching the surrounding capitals with even rhythm and consistent stroke endings.
This font is well suited to body text in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a conventional serif texture and comfortable readability are priorities. It can also serve formal documents and academic or institutional materials that benefit from a dependable, traditional tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting authority without feeling rigid. Its restrained contrast and softened joins give it a composed, cultivated voice suited to long-form reading and editorial settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances classic book typography cues with clean, modern drawing, aiming for an even paragraph color and dependable legibility across mixed-case text and numerals.
Details like the beaked terminals and the angled, lightly cupped serifs add sparkle without creating noise, producing a smooth typographic color across paragraphs. The shapes stay conservative and familiar, prioritizing clarity and steadiness over stylized quirks.
