A classic serif with gently bracketed serifs and moderate, organic stroke modulation. Curves are round and slightly generous, with open counters and a steady, text-friendly rhythm. Capitals feel stately without being rigid, while the lowercase shows clear calligraphic influence in the curved joins and softly shaped terminals; the two-storey forms and compact, readable details support continuous reading. Numerals sit comfortably with the text, maintaining the same moderate contrast and traditional proportions.
This font is well suited to body text in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a stable reading rhythm matters. It also fits reports, academic or cultural publishing, and classic brand communications that benefit from a trustworthy serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a warm, human presence rather than a sharp or mechanical feel. It suggests editorial credibility and a familiar, literary voice suited to longform content and classic branding.
The design intention appears to be a comfortable old-style text serif: readable at typical paragraph sizes, warm in tone, and rooted in calligraphic proportions while remaining clean and controlled for modern typesetting.
Spacing appears even and well-tempered for paragraph settings, with a calm color on the page and clear differentiation between similarly shaped letters. The italics are not shown; the samples indicate an upright roman optimized for text texture rather than display eccentricity.
