This typeface is a conventional serif with bracketed, gently tapered serifs and a measured, bookish rhythm. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with smooth transitions, giving curves (notably in C, O, e, and g) an organic, slightly calligraphic feel. Proportions are balanced and readable, with open counters and modest apertures; terminals are mostly sheared rather than blunt. The lowercase features a two-storey a and g with an elegant ear, plus a compact, slightly asymmetrical e, contributing to a text-focused texture. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and descenders, reinforcing a traditional page color.
It works well for extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and comfortable texture are needed. The oldstyle numerals make it especially suitable for page numbers, dates, and running text with figures in publishing contexts.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting restraint and polish rather than display-driven personality. Its soft modulation and bracketed serifs suggest editorial seriousness, with a quiet elegance suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that balances refinement with readability. Details like bracketed serifs, moderate modulation, and oldstyle figures point toward use in continuous text while still offering enough elegance for headings and tasteful branding.
Capitals are stately and evenly spaced, while the lowercase brings more warmth through curved joins and subtle terminal shaping. The italic is not shown; the sample text demonstrates consistent spacing and a steady baseline in paragraph settings.
