This is a traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated strokes that give it an oldstyle, calligraphic foundation. Proportions feel balanced and text-forward: capitals are stately without being wide, while the lowercase shows a comfortable, human rhythm with open apertures and rounded bowls. Curves transition smoothly into stems, and terminals tend to be softly tapered rather than blunt, helping maintain an even texture in paragraphs. Numerals align visually with the text style, keeping the same serifed, slightly modulated construction for a cohesive page color.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books and editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and restrained contrast support comfortable paragraphs. It can also serve formal documents, reports, and academic or cultural materials that benefit from a conventional, established serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting established editorial typography rather than display experimentation. It reads as calm and trustworthy, with a refined presence that feels appropriate for formal communication and long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, broadly usable text serif that prioritizes readability and familiar proportions. Its measured modulation and bracketed serifs aim to create an even typographic color while conveying a traditional, authoritative tone.
The italics are not shown; all samples appear roman. Letterforms keep a consistent serif treatment across uppercase and lowercase, with a slightly traditional feel in shapes like the two-storey ‘g’ and the serifed ‘y’, reinforcing the book-face character.
