A traditional serif with bracketed wedges and a subtly calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast and smooth, tapered joins, with softly sculpted serifs that feel sharp but not brittle. Proportions are compact with a relatively short x-height, while capitals are sturdy and broadly proportioned. Curves are round and open, terminals are gently tapered, and the overall rhythm is even, giving paragraphs a calm, composed texture.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a classic serif texture is desirable. It also works for refined headlines, pull quotes, and institutional communications that benefit from a traditional, credible tone.
The tone is classical and literary, evoking printed books and editorial typography. It feels authoritative and polished without becoming overly ornate, lending a quiet formality to headlines and a familiar, trustworthy voice to longer text.
The font appears intended as a conventional, high-readability serif that balances traditional book typography cues with clean, contemporary drawing. Its compact proportions and controlled contrast aim to maintain a stable text color across paragraphs while still providing crisp detail at display sizes.
The design shows clear differentiation between rounds and straights, with lively details in letters like the angled arm/leg structures and the bracketed serif transitions. Numerals appear sturdy and legible, matching the text color with consistent weight and spacing.
