A compact oldstyle serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a calligraphic undercurrent in the curved strokes, with rounded joins and tapered terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming decorative. Proportions are relatively narrow and vertically oriented, with sturdy stems, open counters, and a steady rhythm in continuous text. Numerals appear lining with clear, traditional shapes and consistent weight distribution across curves and straights.
This font suits long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works well for headings and pull quotes that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice without heavy contrast.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting a composed, educated feel with a touch of warmth. Its restrained contrast and traditional detailing suggest familiarity and authority rather than novelty.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances readability with traditional elegance, providing a dependable typographic voice for literature and editorial communication. Its compact proportions and steady modulation support dense composition while retaining a refined, familiar character.
In the sample text, the face maintains an even color and readable word shapes, while the sharper diagonals and serifs add crispness at larger sizes. The italics are not shown; the style presented reads as a straightforward roman suited to extended settings.
