A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and gently tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with a stable, upright stance and even color in paragraph settings. The lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g,” a compact ear on “g,” and a “y” with a curved descender, reinforcing a traditional book-face rhythm. Numerals are oldstyle (text figures), blending with the lowercase through varied heights and ascenders/descenders.
This face is well-suited to long-form reading such as books, magazines, reports, and editorial layouts where a steady rhythm and conventional serif structure support comfortable scanning. It can also serve for headings and pull quotes when a traditional, authoritative typographic tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a composed, traditional voice suited to reading-driven typography. It feels formal without being brittle, balancing refinement with a warm, familiar texture.
The design appears intended as a dependable, text-first serif that prioritizes readability and familiar Renaissance-inspired forms. Its moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle numerals suggest an aim toward classic editorial and book typography rather than display novelty.
Spacing and proportions read comfortably in continuous text, with clear counters and restrained details that avoid calling attention to individual letterforms. The capital set is stately and slightly narrow in impression, pairing well with the lively, text-oriented lowercase and oldstyle figures.
