A serifed text face with sturdy, bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes that stay even and controlled across the alphabet. Curves are round and open, with soft transitions into stems and a slightly calligraphic feel in the joins. Proportions are balanced and traditional: capitals are broad and stable, lowercase forms are compact with clear counters, and the overall spacing reads steady and comfortable. Numerals appear oldstyle (with varied heights and descenders), blending naturally with running text rather than standing rigidly on the baseline.
Well suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desirable. It can also serve in headlines and institutional branding when a classic, credible tone is needed, especially when paired with a neutral sans for hierarchy.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—confident and literate without feeling ornamental. Its moderated contrast and traditional proportions create a familiar, trustworthy voice that suits serious content while remaining approachable.
The design appears intended as a versatile, traditional serif for continuous reading, prioritizing stable proportions, comfortable spacing, and a familiar typographic color. The inclusion of oldstyle numerals suggests an emphasis on seamless integration in paragraph text and editorial typography.
In text settings, the face holds a consistent rhythm with clear word shapes and smooth curve quality. Details like the curved tail on the Q and the two-storey a/g contribute to a conventional, book-oriented character, while the italicized-looking slant is minimal, keeping the overall feel upright and composed.
