A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a slightly calligraphic, humanist flow. The letters show gently tapered terminals, rounded joins, and a steady vertical stress that keeps long passages calm and even. Uppercase forms are stately and open, while the lowercase has compact proportions with a relatively small x-height and clear ascenders/descenders. Curves are smooth and slightly organic, and the numerals follow the same old-style rhythm, reading cleanly without feeling mechanical.
Well suited for book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine text where a classic serif voice and steady rhythm support extended reading. It also works for headings and pull quotes that need a traditional, cultured tone without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a warm, well-read sensibility rather than sharp modernity. It suggests tradition and credibility, suited to content that wants to feel established, thoughtful, and quietly refined.
The design appears intended as a readable, heritage-leaning serif that blends classical proportions with gentle calligraphic shaping. Its goal is to deliver a familiar, trustworthy texture on the page while retaining enough personality for prominent editorial use.
The italic is not shown, but the roman itself carries a subtle handwritten influence in the shaping of bowls and terminals. Spacing in the sample text reads comfortable and balanced, helping the design maintain clarity at larger text sizes as well as display settings.
