A traditional serif with generously wide proportions and a steady, readable rhythm. Stems show moderate contrast with subtly tapered terminals, and the serifs are bracketed with a slight flare that gives the forms a gently calligraphic finish rather than a rigid, mechanical feel. Curves are open and rounded, with broad bowls and clear apertures; capitals are spacious and balanced, and the numerals follow the same sturdy, oldstyle-influenced texture with strong baseline presence. Overall spacing feels comfortable and expansive, supporting smooth horizontal flow in text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book and long-form reading, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. The broad proportions also make it effective for headlines, display lines, and refined branding applications that benefit from a stately, spacious look.
The tone is classic and cultivated, suggesting bookish authority and editorial polish. Its wide stance and soft bracketing add a calm, confident presence that feels formal without becoming cold or overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly legible serif with a slightly expansive footprint, balancing traditional proportions and bracketed serifs with a smoother, modernized finish. It aims to deliver dependable text performance while offering a more open, prominent presence for titles and short display settings.
The italic is not shown; the samples indicate consistent shaping between capitals, lowercase, and figures, with a cohesive serif treatment and clear differentiation between similar forms (e.g., I/l/1) through serifing and proportions. The overall color on the page is even, with enough contrast to hold up in larger sizes while staying comfortable for continuous reading.
