A classic serif with bracketed serifs and a calligraphic, oldstyle skeleton. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation without feeling extreme, and terminals are softly finished rather than sharply cut. Proportions are balanced with generous counters and a steady rhythm in text; capitals feel stately and slightly wide while lowercase maintains an even, readable texture. Numerals and punctuation follow the same understated contrast and serif treatment, supporting continuous reading.
Well suited for long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely for headings, pull quotes, and formal collateral such as programs or invitations when a traditional, trustworthy voice is needed.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, recalling book typography and established editorial design. It feels confident and formal without becoming ornamental, projecting a calm authority suited to serious content.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a timeless presence. Its moderated contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on comfortable continuous text while retaining enough polish for display typography.
Details like the angled leg on K/k, the elegant tail on Q, and the two-storey a reinforce a humanist, print-oriented character. Curves are smooth and slightly flattened at joins, helping the face maintain clarity at text sizes while still looking refined at display sizes.
