A graceful text serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and gently tapered terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions, producing a calm, even texture in paragraphs. Proportions are somewhat condensed with tall capitals, a relatively compact x-height, and clear, open counters that keep forms legible. Details like the two-storey “a” and “g,” the curved leg on “R,” and the restrained, pointed joins in “W” and “V” reinforce a traditional book-face structure with crisp, controlled finishing.
Well suited for long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works for formal headings, pull quotes, and literary branding when a traditional, understated voice is needed.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a reserved elegance that reads as editorial and trustworthy rather than decorative. Its refined contrast and carefully bracketed serifs convey formality and a quiet sense of tradition.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for comfortable reading and a familiar typographic voice. Its controlled contrast, bracketed serifs, and compact proportions aim to produce an efficient, authoritative page color across a wide range of editorial settings.
In continuous text the rhythm stays steady and composed, while the italics are not shown; the roman has enough crispness for headings without becoming sharp or brittle. Numerals appear lining and text-oriented, matching the serifed construction and maintaining consistency with the capitals.
