A classic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms show a traditional, slightly calligraphic construction: smooth joins, tapered terminals, and a steady baseline rhythm. Lowercase shapes are open and readable, with a two-storey “a” and a looped “g,” while capitals are stately with wide bowls and crisp internal countershapes. Numerals align comfortably with the text tone, favoring clear, bookish proportions over display eccentricity.
Well-suited for long-form text such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even typographic color and conventional serif forms support comfortable reading. It also fits formal communications—reports, invitations, and identity systems—especially when a traditional, trustworthy voice is desired.
The overall tone is composed and scholarly, suggesting printed literature and established editorial voice. It feels formal without being ornate, conveying quiet authority and readability rather than attention-grabbing personality.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes familiar proportions, consistent rhythm, and clarity across paragraphs. Its restrained detailing and crisp serifs aim to provide a dependable, classic texture for editorial and print-oriented typography.
Details like the sharp apexes on A/V/W and the clean, slightly tapered finishing strokes create a crisp texture in larger sizes, while the moderate modulation keeps paragraphs from looking brittle. The spacing and sidebearings read as balanced in the sample text, producing an even color appropriate for continuous reading.
