A traditional text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and softly flared terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions and a gently calligraphic feel, especially in the lowercase. The proportions are balanced with open counters and clear apertures, producing an even rhythm in continuous text. Uppercase forms are sturdy and stately, while the lowercase adds warmth through rounded shoulders and subtly tapered joins; numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and extenders.
Well-suited to body copy in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even text color and comfortable reading rhythm are important. It also fits reports, academic materials, and other contexts that benefit from a conventional, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting a composed, authoritative voice without feeling rigid. Its soft bracketing and moderate contrast add a slightly human, editorial warmth that reads as traditional and dependable.
The design appears intended as a familiar, highly readable serif for extended text, pairing classic proportions with softened details to maintain clarity while preserving a traditional typographic tone.
Details like the curved tail on the capital Q and the distinctly serifed, oldstyle figures contribute to an established, print-oriented character. Curves and diagonals are kept smooth and controlled, avoiding sharp, modern stress for a more heritage-like texture.
