This serif shows a traditional, oldstyle-leaning structure with bracketed serifs, moderated stroke contrast, and a subtly calligraphic stress that gives curves a gentle, organic rhythm. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned with crisp finishing details, while lowercase forms stay compact and readable, with rounded bowls and soft joins. Terminals frequently end in teardrop/ball-like shapes (notably in letters like a, c, f, j, y), adding a hint of warmth to an otherwise formal texture. Numerals are clear and sturdy, matching the text face with consistent weight distribution and firm serifed footing.
Well-suited to editorial design, books, and magazine typography where a familiar serif voice and steady readability are needed. It also works effectively for display roles—chapter titles, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding—where its refined details and classic proportions can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classical and literary, projecting trust, tradition, and editorial seriousness. Small decorative cues in the terminals keep it from feeling austere, lending a slightly human, crafted impression suited to long-form reading and established brands.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a timeless, print-informed character: readable, structured, and authoritative, while incorporating subtle terminal details to keep the texture lively and personable.
In text, the font builds a solid, even color with pronounced verticals and clean counters, making it comfortable at larger paragraph sizes and especially strong in headings. The italic is not shown; the visible style relies on upright forms and careful serif shaping to create emphasis and hierarchy.
