This is a classic text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated strokes. Curves show a subtle calligraphic stress, with rounded bowls that stay open and readable, and verticals that feel steady rather than rigid. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase keeps a traditional, bookish rhythm with a two-storey “a” and “g,” clear shoulders, and tidy joins. Numerals follow an oldstyle pattern with varied heights and some descending forms, supporting a fluent text color in running copy.
It is well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a steady, familiar serif voice is needed. It can also serve in formal documents and institutional materials, and scales up cleanly for headlines that want a classic, authoritative feel.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, evoking printed books, newspapers, and established publishing. It feels confident and formal without becoming ornate, aiming for familiarity and credibility.
The font appears designed as a conventional, workhorse text serif: prioritizing legibility, even rhythm, and a timeless typographic voice. Its details suggest an intention to perform reliably in paragraph settings while preserving a traditional print sensibility.
The design balances crisp serifs with smooth curvature, creating a consistent texture at text sizes. Letterforms such as the “Q” with a modest tail and the compact, well-seriffed capitals reinforce a conventional, library-ready character.
