A classic text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a gently modulated stroke that suggests calligraphic influence. The letterforms show sturdy, even proportions with rounded bowls and open apertures, producing a calm, readable texture in continuous text. Uppercase shapes are stately and balanced, while the lowercase features clear differentiation and a conventional two-storey a and g. Numerals appear oldstyle (ranging), helping the font sit naturally within running text and maintaining an even rhythm across mixed content.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a steady text color and strong word-shape recognition matter. It should also work effectively for academic and institutional materials such as reports, essays, and reference pages, and for headings when a classic, formal voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with an editorial seriousness that feels trustworthy and established. Its restrained contrast and familiar serif detailing communicate formality without becoming ornate, making it feel appropriate for classic, institutional, or literary settings.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional serif for comfortable reading, emphasizing familiar proportions, moderate modulation, and balanced spacing. Details like bracketed serifs and oldstyle numerals suggest a focus on continuous text and typographic tradition rather than high-contrast display drama.
In the sample paragraph the spacing reads comfortable and the color remains consistent across lines, with no overly sharp joins or brittle hairlines. The shapes favor clarity over display eccentricity, and the serif treatment provides a stable baseline and strong word shapes at text sizes.
