A classic serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle construction. Capitals show generous proportions with smooth curves and crisp terminals, while lowercase forms are open and readable with rounded bowls and a steady baseline rhythm. Details like the two-storey “g,” a curved “y” descender, and a “Q” with a flowing tail reinforce a traditional text face character. Numerals are well-balanced and proportional in feel, with clear differentiation and sturdy verticals.
Well-suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where steady rhythm and comfortable readability matter. It can also support headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, conveying authority and calm refinement. It reads as familiar and trustworthy rather than trendy, with a composed, editorial voice suited to long-form content.
Designed to deliver a conventional, time-tested reading experience with refined serif detailing and a balanced, text-forward rhythm, aiming for clarity and credibility across extended passages.
The sample text shows even color and consistent spacing at larger sizes, with punctuation and apostrophes that feel sharp and conventional. Curved letters (C, G, O) maintain smooth, continuous contours, while strong verticals and tapered joins add a subtle sense of craftsmanship.
