A traditional serif with clearly bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and moderate stroke modulation that reads smoothly in both display sizes and text. The capitals feel stately and well-proportioned, with gently flared strokes and crisp finishing. Lowercase forms show a humanist rhythm: open apertures, a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g” with a distinct ear, and softly curved joins that avoid rigid geometry. Numerals appear oldstyle (varying heights and extenders), reinforcing a bookish texture and a lively baseline pattern in running text.
Well-suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It can also serve effectively in headings, pull quotes, and formal print materials that benefit from a traditional, reputable tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting established publishing and academic contexts rather than overt branding flash. Its measured contrast and restrained details convey trust, tradition, and a quietly authoritative voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable text serif that prioritizes an even reading rhythm and classic proportions, while adding subtle calligraphic shaping to keep paragraphs warm and engaging.
Letterspacing appears comfortable and even, producing a steady grey value in paragraphs. The italic is not shown; all samples present a consistent upright style with restrained, conventional punctuation and an ampersand that matches the classical serif flavor.
