This serif features bracketed, wedge-like serifs and softly tapered terminals that give the letterforms a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Strokes show moderate modulation with rounded joins and a generally generous, sturdy build rather than razor-thin hairlines. The uppercase is broad and steady, while the lowercase has open counters and a gently varying rhythm, with a single-storey g and a two-storey a contributing to a classic text texture. Figures are oldstyle-style in feeling, with curving forms and varying widths that integrate naturally with running text.
It is well suited to body text in books, articles, and other long-form reading where a comfortable, traditional serif texture is desired. The sturdy shapes and clear counters also make it a strong choice for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and heritage-leaning brand identities that benefit from a classic, dependable voice.
Overall, the tone is bookish and traditional, projecting warmth and authority without feeling austere. Its softened wedge serifs and slightly organic curves evoke editorial and literary contexts, balancing formality with approachability.
The letterforms suggest an intention to provide a conventional, highly readable text serif with a subtly historical, oldstyle flavor. The combination of moderate contrast, bracketed wedge serifs, and open lowercase shapes appears aimed at maintaining clarity in continuous text while adding a touch of humanist character.
The design maintains a consistent baseline and calm spacing, producing an even color in paragraphs while still showing lively, humanist details in terminals and curves. Diacritics aren’t shown, but the basic Latin set displayed appears cohesive across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
