A classic serif with bracketed, softly flared serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The design shows an oldstyle influence: rounded, open counters, gently tapered joins, and a slightly calligraphic rhythm across lowercase. Uppercase forms are sturdy and balanced with pronounced terminals; the overall texture is even and readable, with compact spacing that yields a solid paragraph color. Numerals are clear and fairly traditional in construction, matching the serif treatment and stroke contrast of the letters.
Well-suited for long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and magazine articles, where its steady rhythm and moderate contrast support comfortable scanning. It also fits reports, academic or institutional documents, and other text-forward layouts that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The tone is conventional and bookish, conveying stability and authority rather than novelty. Its restrained contrast and familiar silhouettes feel institutional and editorial, suitable for contexts where clarity and credibility are more important than display personality.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes legibility and a familiar typographic tone. Its oldstyle-leaning shapes and bracketed serifs aim to create a calm, cohesive texture in paragraphs while remaining versatile for headings and captions.
Distinctive details include a curved Q tail that sweeps outward, a two-storey a, and a robust g with a rounded bowl and compact ear. The lowercase has a steady baseline and consistent stroke endings, producing a composed, print-oriented feel in running text.
