This serif typeface shows bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, bookish rhythm. Curves are broad and open, with gently tapered joins and softly modeled terminals that suggest a subtle calligraphic influence rather than a rigid, geometric construction. Capitals feel sturdy and slightly wide in their internal spacing, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar forms (notably the single-story a and g). Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and extenders that blend smoothly into text settings.
Well suited for continuous reading in books and editorial layouts, where the open counters and moderated contrast support comfortable texture. It also works for headings, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a classic, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, conveying a literary, editorial character. Its shapes read as established and trustworthy, with a quiet warmth that feels more humanist than strictly mechanical.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, humanist modeling, balancing traditional detail with straightforward legibility. The inclusion of oldstyle numerals reinforces a text-first focus aimed at harmonious running typography.
Round letters like O and Q are generously proportioned, and the Q uses a pronounced, flowing tail that adds a touch of elegance. The italic is not shown; the displayed upright has enough modulation and bracketing to remain comfortable in longer passages while still feeling formal at display sizes.
