A conventional text serif with bracketed wedge serifs, gently modulated strokes, and a steady, book-oriented rhythm. The capitals are broad and measured with clear classical proportions, while the lowercase shows softly calligraphic shaping—noticeable in the angled terminals and the ear on the “g”. Curves are smooth and open (notably in “c”, “e”, and “s”), and the figures align to an oldstyle feel with varying heights and subtle thick–thin movement. Overall spacing reads even and comfortable, favoring continuous reading over display impact.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desirable. It also fits formal documents, institutional communications, and headlines or subheads that need a traditional, literary character without excessive decoration.
The tone is traditional and composed, evoking printed literature, academic settings, and editorial typography. Its restrained contrast and familiar serif structure communicate authority and trust without feeling ornate or overly stylized.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classical text face that prioritizes readability and typographic familiarity. Its oldstyle cues and restrained modulation aim to deliver a cultured, print-native presence for continuous text and formal typography.
Distinctive details include a two-storey “a,” a looped two-storey “g” with a pronounced ear, and numerals with a slightly oldstyle character that adds warmth in text. Terminals often finish with small, angled cuts, contributing to a subtle pen-informed texture at larger sizes.
