This serif has bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated strokes that create a steady, book-oriented rhythm. The capitals are proportioned with classical restraint, with rounded forms (C, G, O, Q) showing smooth curvature and a subtly tapered feel rather than sharp, geometric construction. Lowercase letters are compact and readable, with a two-storey a and g, open counters, and slightly cupped terminals that keep the texture even in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same oldstyle-influenced modeling, with clear curves and modest contrast that holds up well at text sizes.
Well suited to body copy in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even texture and comfortable reading cadence matter. It can also serve for reports, academic or institutional documents, and refined brand systems that need a classic serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a calm, established voice suited to long-form reading. Its serif detailing and moderate modulation lend a formal, trustworthy character without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic neutrality while retaining subtle oldstyle warmth in its serifs, terminals, and stroke modulation.
In the sample text, the face maintains a consistent color and line-to-line stability, with punctuation and figures integrating cleanly into the text flow. The italics are not shown, but the roman exhibits enough calligraphic influence in its joins and terminals to feel warm and human rather than strictly mechanical.
