A classic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and clear stroke modulation. The outlines show a calligraphic influence: tapered joins, slightly asymmetrical curves, and a lively rhythm rather than rigidly geometric construction. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned with pronounced triangular terminals (notably on A, V, W, and Y), while lowercase forms keep sturdy stems and rounded bowls. Numerals align comfortably with the text color, mixing straight stems with open, readable counters.
Well-suited for continuous reading in books and long-form editorial layouts, as well as for headlines and pull quotes that benefit from a traditional serif tone. It also fits institutional branding, cultural programs, and print-forward designs where a classical, literary voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, evoking printed literature, academic settings, and editorial seriousness. Its crisp contrast and refined terminals give it a formal, trustworthy voice without feeling overly ornamental.
Likely designed as a conventional, readable serif that prioritizes a familiar print rhythm while adding subtle calligraphic flavor through tapered terminals and bracketed serifs. The intent appears to be dependable text performance with enough character to stand out in headings and formal copy.
The sample text shows an even, confident texture at display-to-text sizes, with distinctive, slightly oldstyle-feeling letterforms (single-storey a and g) that add personality. Curves and serifs remain sharp and consistent, helping maintain clarity in longer lines while preserving a classic, engraved-on-paper character.
