This serif typeface shows clear stroke contrast with gently bracketed serifs and a steady, traditional rhythm. Curves are full and well-rounded, while joins and terminals stay crisp rather than blunt. The capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, with a slightly tapered, calligraphic stress in rounded letters. Lowercase forms are compact and readable, with a double-storey “g” and “a”, sturdy verticals, and restrained, traditional terminals. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and noticeable ascenders/descenders that blend smoothly with running text.
Well-suited to book typography, essays, and other long-form reading where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits editorial layouts, magazine features, and institutional communications that benefit from a composed, authoritative look.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting seriousness and trust. It feels rooted in traditional print typography, with a refined, editorial character rather than a trendy or decorative voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that delivers familiar, dependable readability while retaining a touch of calligraphic elegance. Its oldstyle numeral treatment and classic proportions suggest a focus on comfortable reading and timeless editorial use.
Distinctive details include a lively “Q” with a sweeping tail and a traditional, slightly angled stress in round letters that reinforces the oldstyle impression. Spacing and proportions support continuous reading, with clear letter differentiation and moderate punctuation presence.
