A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke modulation. The design shows moderate contrast with smooth transitions into the serifs, producing a steady, readable rhythm. Capitals are stately and open, with broad bowls and balanced proportions; the Q has a short diagonal tail and the G includes a clear spur. Lowercase forms lean oldstyle in feel, with a two-storey a and g, a slightly angled crossbar on e, and a compact, rightward-curving tail on y; terminals often finish in subtle flares rather than blunt cuts. Numerals are sturdy and lining in appearance, with clear, traditional shapes (notably an open-top 4 and a fairly round 0).
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and even texture are desired. It also scales effectively for magazine headlines and display settings, offering a confident, classic presence without appearing overly ornamental.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, evoking traditional book typography and established print conventions. It reads as composed and trustworthy, with enough warmth in the bracketed serifs and softly modulated strokes to avoid a rigid, mechanical feel.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that can carry both body copy and prominent editorial typography. Its moderated contrast and bracketed serif construction aim for clarity, familiarity, and a composed, literary tone.
Large sizes show crisp detailing in joins and terminals, while the text sample suggests solid paragraph color and stable word shapes. The serif treatment stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, keeping the texture cohesive in continuous reading.
