A refined text serif with bracketed, gently tapered serifs and moderately modulated strokes. The letters show a measured, traditional rhythm with relatively open counters and smooth curves, paired with crisp terminals that keep the texture clean in continuous reading. Uppercase forms are stately and balanced (notably the wide, round O/Q and a sculpted R), while the lowercase maintains an even, bookish color with a two-storey a and g and clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals follow the same restrained, conventional styling, with readable proportions and consistent weight.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, articles, and academic or institutional documents where a steady serif texture supports comprehension. It also fits editorial headlines, pull quotes, and captions when a traditional, authoritative tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and composed, evoking book typography and established editorial design. It feels cultivated and trustworthy rather than flashy, with a quietly elegant presence suited to serious or literary content.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar proportions, restrained contrast, and conventional letterforms optimized for a stable reading rhythm. Its detailing suggests an aim for timelessness and versatility across common publishing contexts.
In text, spacing and sidebearings read as comfortable and traditional, creating a smooth horizontal flow. Details like the Q’s tail and the angled joins on V/W/X add subtle character without disrupting the calm, conventional texture.
