A traditional serif with bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes that give it a measured, book-text rhythm. The capitals are sturdy and stately, with clear vertical stress and slightly flared terminals in places, while the lowercase shows oldstyle cues such as a two-storey “a” and “g,” and a softly tapered, calligraphic feel in curved joins. Counters are open and proportions are balanced, producing an even color on the line with a familiar editorial texture. Numerals align with the text tone, with clear, readable shapes and moderate stroke variation.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books and long-form editorial layouts, where its conventional serif structure and steady texture support comfort and clarity. It also fits institutional communications such as academic materials, reports, and formal correspondence, and can serve as a reliable serif for headings when a traditional tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed books, academic settings, and established institutions. It feels composed and authoritative rather than playful, with a quietly traditional voice suited to serious reading and formal messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly legible text serif that prioritizes familiarity and steady reading rhythm, drawing on oldstyle/calligraphic cues while maintaining a clean, contemporary consistency.
The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a steady baseline and consistent serif treatment across mixed-case and figures. Curves and diagonals (notably in “S,” “C,” “V,” and “W”) retain a controlled, slightly calligraphic modulation that helps prevent the design from feeling purely mechanical.
