This serif typeface shows an oldstyle structure with gently bracketed, wedge-like serifs and softly modulated strokes. Curves are full and slightly organic, with a steady rhythm and open counters that keep the texture even in paragraphs. Capitals are sturdy and fairly broad, while lowercase forms lean on traditional proportions with a single-storey “g” and a lightly calligraphic feel in joins and terminals. Numerals follow the same drawn, serifed logic with rounded shapes and moderate differentiation.
It is well suited to extended text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a calm, classic serif texture is desired. The clear serif structure and open interiors also make it a solid choice for print collateral such as reports, programs, and museum or academic materials.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting bookish authority without feeling overly formal. Its modest calligraphic inflection adds warmth and a human presence, making it feel familiar and trustworthy rather than sharp or clinical.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif with an oldstyle foundation—aiming for comfortable flow in paragraphs, dependable legibility, and a timeless, traditional voice.
Serif details are consistent across cases, with smooth bracketing and slightly tapered strokes that prevent the design from looking mechanical. The italics are not shown; the samples indicate a steady upright voice intended for continuous reading and comfortable setting.
