A traditional serif with softly bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and rounded, calligraphic joins. Curves are full and slightly elliptical, with moderate aperture openings (notably in C, c, and e) and a steady, text-oriented rhythm. The capitals feel stately and slightly wide in presence, while the lowercase shows a clear two-storey a and g, a compact, sturdy n/m structure, and a readable, slightly angled stress. Numerals are lining and proportional, with curved terminals and a distinctive oldstyle flavor in forms like 2 and 3.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a conventional serif texture is desired. It also works for headings, pull quotes, and front matter that benefit from a traditional, authoritative tone without excessive contrast or delicacy.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, conveying a quiet authority rather than showiness. Its softened terminals and moderate contrast add warmth, giving it a familiar, literary voice suited to formal but approachable typography.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that balances readability with gentle, classic detailing. Its moderated contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on comfortable long-form setting and a timeless typographic character.
Round letters (O, o, Q) are generously drawn and smooth, helping maintain even color in text. The italic is not shown; the presented style emphasizes stability and clarity with subtle, traditional detailing rather than sharp modern crispness.
