A text-oriented serif with bracketed wedge serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke modulation. The capitals are clean and classically proportioned, with tapered terminals and crisp joins that keep the rhythm open and readable. Lowercase forms show a traditional, bookish construction with compact bowls, a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a modest x-height that supports comfortable line spacing. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and alignments, reinforcing a traditional text color and a slightly lively, handwritten-influenced cadence.
Well suited to book typography, magazine/editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where a familiar serif texture is desirable. It can also serve in refined branding, invitations, and institutional materials where a traditional, trustworthy voice is needed—especially when paired with generous leading and moderate sizes.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, leaning toward literary and editorial use rather than overt display. It feels composed and authoritative, with enough warmth in the modulation and curves to avoid a cold, mechanical impression.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif for continuous text, balancing classical proportions with subtle calligraphic influence to create a steady, elegant page color.
Stroke endings tend to taper rather than terminate bluntly, and counters remain open in both uppercase and lowercase, helping legibility in paragraph settings. The “Q” features a clear, elegant tail, and diagonals (such as in V/W/Y) maintain a steady, refined presence without looking heavy.
