This serif presents a classic, book-oriented construction with bracketed serifs and moderately tapered strokes that create a steady, readable texture. Capitals are broad and evenly proportioned with clear vertical stress, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and open counters for comfortable paragraph rhythm. Serifs are sharp but not brittle, and terminals tend toward traditional, slightly cupped or pointed finishes rather than blunt cuts. Overall spacing and letterfit read as conventional and calm, producing an even typographic color in the text sample.
Well suited to body text in books, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a familiar serif voice and steady color are priorities. It can also serve formal collateral such as reports, invitations, and institutional materials when a classic, readable serif is needed.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with a quietly refined, editorial feel. It suggests print heritage—measured, trustworthy, and slightly formal—without leaning into ornament or overt stylization.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for sustained reading, combining traditional proportions with clean, restrained detailing to keep pages feeling composed and legible.
Distinctive details include a two-storey “g” with a pronounced ear, a “Q” with a restrained tail, and numerals that match the text serifs’ understated modulation. The sample text shows stable word shapes and consistent contrast across lines, supporting extended reading.
