A traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and softly modulated strokes. The drawing shows moderate stroke contrast with curved transitions and a slightly calligraphic feel, producing an even, readable texture in continuous text. Counters are open and proportions are compact, while details like the ear of the lowercase “g,” the footed “1,” and the gently tapered terminals add a quietly crafted finish.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its bracketed serifs and moderate modulation support comfortable scanning. It also works for headings and pull quotes that need a traditional, cultivated voice without looking ornamental.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting authority without feeling severe. Its calm rhythm and familiar oldstyle cues lend a composed, editorial character that reads as trustworthy and established.
The design appears intended as a conventional, dependable text serif that balances elegance with practicality. Its proportions and restrained detailing aim to deliver a familiar, book-oriented texture while retaining enough refinement for polished editorial typography.
In the text sample, spacing and color stay consistent across mixed-case passages, and the italic is not shown; the roman maintains a steady baseline with clear differentiation between similar shapes (notably I/l/1 and O/0). Numerals appear text-friendly with traditional forms and modest contrast that matches the letters.
