A classical serif with softly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms feel broad and open, with generous internal counters and a steady, readable rhythm in text. Curves are smoothly drawn with slightly calligraphic terminals; joins and serifs taper rather than ending bluntly, giving the outlines a refined, chiseled look. Uppercase shapes are stately and wide-set, while the lowercase maintains familiar book proportions with a two-storey “a” and “g” and sturdy, well-supported verticals.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its open counters and traditional serif rhythm support comfortable legibility. It also fits institutional or cultural branding, invitations, and other formal materials that benefit from a classic, literary voice.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, evoking printed literature and academic settings. Its gently calligraphic detailing adds a hint of warmth while remaining firmly conventional and composed.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar, authoritative presence, while incorporating subtle calligraphic shaping to keep the texture lively in paragraphs.
Details like the sweeping leg on “R,” the lively diagonal on “Q,” and the wedge terminals on letters such as “c,” “e,” and “s” reinforce a humanist/oldstyle sensibility. Numerals appear serifed and consistent with the text forms, suited to running copy rather than purely tabular display.
