A serif text face with softly bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation, showing a gently calligraphic rhythm rather than rigid geometry. Curves are round and open, terminals tend to finish with subtle flaring, and joins feel slightly organic. Proportions read as traditional: compact lowercase with a relatively short x-height, sturdy capitals, and numerals that vary in width for a lively texture. Overall spacing and color form an even paragraph tone while retaining small, humanist irregularities that keep it from feeling mechanical.
Well suited for long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where an even, traditional text color is important. It can also support headings, pull quotes, and institutional materials when a classic serif voice is desired without a sharp, high-contrast feel.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with a warm, humane presence. It feels traditional and trustworthy—more inviting than austere—suited to settings that want historical resonance and comfortable readability.
The design appears intended as a comfortable, traditionally rooted serif for sustained reading, combining clear structure with restrained calligraphic influence. Its proportions and moderate contrast aim to produce steady paragraph texture while preserving an expressive, human touch.
Distinctive details include a gently curved leg on the capital R, a flowing tail on Q, and a lower-case g with a prominent ear and rounded bowl that reinforce the old-style flavor. The lowercase a is two-storey, and the serifs stay refined rather than heavy, helping it maintain clarity in continuous text.
