This serif typeface shows classic, bookish proportions with gently bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with open counters and a steady horizontal rhythm that reads comfortably in text. Uppercase forms are stately and broad, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and even color; notable details include a single-storey “g,” a two-storey “a,” and a “Q” with a long, sweeping tail. Numerals align with the same traditional serif logic, using tapered joins and small finishing strokes rather than geometric construction.
Well-suited for body text in books, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a familiar serif voice is desired. It can also serve in institutional or cultural branding—especially for headings, pull quotes, and captions—where a traditional, dependable presence is beneficial.
The overall tone is conventional and cultured, evoking printed books, academic settings, and editorial typography. Its details feel confident and established rather than trendy, balancing formality with an approachable warmth.
The letterforms suggest an intention to provide a versatile, conventional text serif with literary character: readable at paragraph sizes, composed in tone, and detailed enough to feel crafted without becoming decorative.
The design favors clarity over sharpness: terminals and serifs are not overly pointed, and the contrast stays moderate, which helps maintain an even texture across longer passages. Spacing appears comfortably generous in the sample text, supporting a calm, readable cadence.
