A traditional serif with slender, bracketed serifs and softly tapered terminals. Strokes show gentle modulation and rounded joins, producing a calm, even rhythm in text. Proportions are moderately narrow with generous counters; the lowercase has a compact, readable structure and a two-storey “g” with a distinct ear. Numerals are serifed and proportional, matching the text color and stroke logic of the alphabet.
Well-suited for continuous reading in books, journals, and magazine articles where a traditional serif texture is desirable. It can also serve for formal documents and reports, and works effectively for headings when paired with ample leading and conservative tracking.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a quiet formality that feels at home in editorial and academic contexts. Its restrained contrast and smooth curves convey refinement without becoming ornate, lending a composed, trustworthy voice to longer reading.
The design intent appears to be a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic familiarity while retaining a touch of classic calligraphic character in terminals and curves.
Capitals are clean and steady with understated flare at stroke ends, while lowercase details (like the hook on “f” and the curved descender on “y”) add a subtle calligraphic warmth. Spacing appears balanced in the sample text, creating a consistent gray value across lines.
