A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate contrast, and a steady, even color in text. The capitals are relatively wide and open, with clear, gently flared terminals and rounded joins that keep the shapes smooth rather than sharp. Lowercase forms show compact bowls and clear counters, with a two-storey “a” and a “g” that reads as two-storey in the grid. Numerals align comfortably with the text style, with oldstyle-like movement in curves and a straightforward, legible construction overall.
This face is well suited to continuous reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a conventional serif texture is desired. It can also serve comfortably in formal documents, reports, and academic material, and scales up cleanly for headings that benefit from a traditional voice.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting editorial seriousness and quiet authority. It feels established and familiar rather than trendy, with a polished restraint that suits formal communication and long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar proportions, clear letterforms, and restrained detailing that prioritizes readability and typographic neutrality while retaining a classic character.
In the sample text, spacing and rhythm appear controlled, supporting multi-line paragraphs without looking tight. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) maintain a consistent roundness, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) keep a stable, conventional stance.
