A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and a noticeably calligraphic, diagonally stressed construction. The letterforms show crisp, tapered terminals and slightly flared joins, with a compact rhythm and tight proportions that keep the texture even in paragraph settings. Counters are moderately open, ascenders are relatively tall, and the lowercase includes a double-storey a and g, giving the design a conventional, bookish feel. Numerals appear oldstyle (with varying heights and extenders), reinforcing the text-oriented character.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and steady text texture are desired. It can also serve in academic or institutional materials, pull quotes, and headings that benefit from a conventional, print-centric tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting printed matter and editorial typography rather than overt branding or display. Its controlled contrast and sharp detailing add a sense of formality and seriousness without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classic reading face that echoes historical serif conventions—diagonal stress, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle numerals—while maintaining a clear, consistent rhythm for continuous text.
The italics are not shown; the roman exhibits consistent serif treatment across capitals and lowercase, with clean, slender crossbars and a restrained, vertical stance. The spacing in the sample text reads compact but orderly, producing a dense, traditional page color.
