This serif typeface presents a balanced, book-oriented structure with bracketed wedge serifs and gently modulated strokes. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with soft transitions into the serifs and a steady rhythm across lowercase text. The lowercase shows compact, traditional forms (notably a two-storey “a” and “g”) with moderately open counters and clear joins, while the capitals are sturdy and restrained with classical proportions. Numerals follow the same oldstyle-influenced drawing, with rounded bowls and consistent serif treatment that keeps figures visually aligned with the text color.
Well-suited for continuous reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a stable text color and conventional letterforms are priorities. It also fits formal documents and reports, and can serve for headings when a traditional, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is classical and composed, evoking editorial and academic settings rather than display exuberance. Its forms read as traditional and trustworthy, with a measured elegance that suits long-form, information-forward typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for readability and typographic familiarity, combining classical serif construction with moderate stroke modulation for a refined, print-friendly texture.
Serifs tend toward sharp, triangular terminals with noticeable bracketing, giving edges a crisp but not mechanical feel. Diagonals and curved letters maintain even color in paragraph settings, and punctuation (such as the colon and apostrophe) appears clear and proportionate in running text.
