A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and softly modulated strokes. The curves show a mild diagonal stress, with rounded terminals and gently flared joins that keep the texture smooth in paragraph settings. Capitals are sturdy and open, with a classic Roman construction; the lowercase leans toward oldstyle proportions with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a compact ear on “g,” and a curved, beaked “f.” Numerals appear oldstyle and varied in height, reinforcing an editorial, book-oriented rhythm.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a comfortable, traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits formal communications—reports, programs, and institutional materials—where a classic typographic voice supports clarity and authority.
The font conveys a traditional, literary tone—measured and composed rather than flashy. Its warm modulation and familiar proportions suggest credibility and readability, giving text a quietly formal, heritage feel.
The design appears intended as a dependable, book-centric serif: familiar shapes, moderate stroke modulation, and oldstyle figures combine to produce a readable, traditional page color with subtle historical character.
Serif details are moderately bracketed and not sharp, which helps maintain even color across lines. The sample text shows stable spacing and a steady vertical rhythm, with slightly lively character shapes (notably in “Q,” “g,” “y,” and the oldstyle figures) that add personality without breaking a conventional text voice.
