A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, gently tapered strokes, and a moderate contrast that stays even in text sizes. The proportions are slightly traditional rather than geometric, with rounded bowls and softly modeled joins that suggest a calligraphic influence. Serifs are compact and well integrated, giving lines a steady horizontal rhythm without looking blocky. The italic is not shown; the roman includes oldstyle-style figures with varied heights and a noticeably descending 4 and 9, reinforcing a text-oriented build.
Well suited to book typography and other long-form editorial settings where steady rhythm and familiar serif forms aid readability. It can also work for academic documents, literary branding, and formal print materials where a traditional, text-first voice is desired.
The overall tone feels classic and bookish, with a calm authority suited to long-form reading. Its slightly warm, humanist modeling keeps it from feeling overly rigid, while the crisp terminals maintain a formal, editorial character.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar literary tone. Oldstyle figures and restrained contrast point toward comfortable running text rather than display-first styling.
The capital set reads sturdy and traditional, with a clear, open C and a Q featuring a distinct tail. Lowercase forms keep counters open and legible, and the spacing in the sample text appears comfortable, producing a smooth, even paragraph color. Numerals blend naturally into running text due to their oldstyle construction.
