A traditional serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The forms show an oldstyle influence: rounded bowls, softly tapered terminals, and a steady, readable rhythm in text. Lowercase features include a two-storey “a,” a two-storey “g” with a clear ear, a compact “e,” and relatively open apertures that keep counters legible. Capitals are sturdy and slightly wide with smooth curves (notably C, O, Q) and a confident, classic stance; numerals follow the same bookish tone with balanced proportions.
Well suited to body text in books, essays, reports, and editorial layouts where sustained readability and a traditional texture are priorities. It can also serve for headings and pull quotes when a classic, reputable voice is desired without becoming overly ornamental.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting printed pages, academic settings, and established institutions. It reads as calm and authoritative rather than trendy, with a familiar warmth that suits long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and familiar proportions. Its moderated contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle construction point to use in continuous reading and formal publishing contexts.
In the sample paragraph, spacing and color appear even, producing a consistent gray value across lines. The italic is not shown; all examples present a straightforward roman style with restrained details and conventional punctuation shapes.
