A traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently tapered strokes that create a steady, bookish texture. Curves show a subtle diagonal stress, and terminals often finish in crisp, slightly pointed forms rather than blunt cuts. Uppercase letters feel stately and compact, while the lowercase has rounded bowls, a two-storey “a,” and a single-storey “g,” yielding an oldstyle, text-oriented rhythm. Numerals appear proportional with clear, slightly calligraphic shaping that matches the letterforms.
Well suited to extended reading in books and editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and classic detailing maintain clarity. It also works effectively for formal documents, cultural publishing, and headlines that need a traditional, authoritative tone without heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a composed, editorial voice. Its pointed serifs and restrained modulation add a touch of formality without feeling overly ornate, suggesting tradition, credibility, and careful craft.
This design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances classic oldstyle cues with crisp, modern finishing, aiming for reliable readability and a cultivated, print-forward personality across both body copy and display sizes.
The sample text shows even color and consistent spacing that supports comfortable long-line reading, while the sharper serif details give headings a crisp, engraved-like presence. Diagonal strokes in letters like K, V, W, and Y carry confident, clean joins, reinforcing a disciplined, print-like character.
