This serif face shows bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a sturdy, moderately modulated stroke with smooth transitions into stems and arms. Capitals are broad and stately with open counters (notably in C, G, O, and Q), while the lowercase sits relatively low, giving the text a traditional, book-oriented proportion. Curves are round and slightly asymmetric in an oldstyle manner, and terminals often finish with subtle beaks or tapered ends rather than blunt cuts. The numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and several descending forms, reinforcing a text-centric rhythm.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works for headings, pull quotes, and titles that benefit from a traditional, print-rooted voice, especially when paired with oldstyle numerals in running text.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a quiet formality typical of classic printed text. It feels trustworthy and established rather than trendy, balancing warmth from its organic curves with enough crispness to stay authoritative in display sizes.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif for sustained text, drawing on historical book-type proportions and details. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs aim for comfortable rhythm and dependable clarity across paragraphs and larger sizes.
In running text the color is even and calm, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (I/J, O/Q) and a slightly lively baseline presence from the oldstyle figures and varied lowercase extenders. The ampersand is compact and traditional, and punctuation appears sturdy and unobtrusive.
