A traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a gently calligraphic, modulated stroke. Curves are smooth and open, with moderate apertures and comfortable interior counters that keep text from looking pinched. Proportions lean slightly narrow in some capitals while maintaining even overall color; spacing feels generous, supporting steady rhythm in running text. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a softly arched shoulder on n/m, and a compact, clean ear on g; numerals include oldstyle forms with clear ascenders/descenders that blend naturally with lowercase text.
Well-suited for book interiors, editorial articles, and magazine typography where sustained readability and a classic texture are important. It can also serve comfortably for reports, academic writing, and formal correspondence, especially when paired with generous leading.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, with a quiet authority suited to long-form reading. It communicates refinement and tradition rather than sharp modernity, giving text an editorial, literary character.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and an even page color, borrowing from established book faces with subtle calligraphic modulation and restrained, bracketed serifs.
Capitals have crisp terminals and balanced, softly tapered strokes, with a notably elegant Q tail and a restrained diagonal energy in K, V, W, and X. The ampersand is traditional and round, matching the font’s calm, text-first voice.
