A traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and softly modulated strokes that create a steady, readable texture. The proportions feel moderately wide with open counters and a calm rhythm, while terminals and joins show subtle calligraphic influence rather than sharp geometric construction. Uppercase forms are balanced and authoritative, and the lowercase carries a familiar text-face cadence with a two-storey “g” and a gently angled, oldstyle-style “e” crossbar. Numerals show varying widths and include oldstyle figures (notably a descending “3” and “4”), contributing to an editorial, book-oriented color.
Well-suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a conventional serif texture supports long-form reading. It can also serve for headings, pull quotes, and formal collateral that benefits from a traditional typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting a composed, trustworthy voice suited to traditional publishing. Its detailing feels refined and slightly warm, avoiding both extreme austerity and overt ornamentation.
Likely intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes familiarity, readability, and an established print-like tone. The inclusion of oldstyle-style numerals and the restrained, bracketed serif detailing suggest an emphasis on continuous reading and classic page typography.
The design maintains consistent serif treatment across the set, with smooth curves in rounded letters and controlled, slightly tapered diagonals in forms like V, W, and Y. Spacing appears even in the sample text, producing a stable paragraph color that favors sustained reading.
