A classic serif with bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes that read as calm and controlled. Curves are round and open, terminals are clean, and the overall rhythm is even, with moderate spacing and steady proportions across the alphabet. The lowercase shows traditional text-face details such as a two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and softly cupped serifs on stems, while the capitals keep a restrained, dignified silhouette without exaggerated flourishes. Numerals follow the same oldstyle-influenced logic, with varied shapes and subtle modulation that blends naturally into continuous text.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books, magazines, and journal layouts where a steady serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It also works for institutional or formal materials—reports, programs, and invitations—where a traditional typographic voice is desired.
The tone is traditional and bookish, evoking printed literature and editorial typography rather than display-driven personality. It feels composed and trustworthy, with a quiet refinement suitable for serious or cultured messaging.
Designed to function as a conventional text serif with a familiar, historically informed construction and restrained detailing. The intent appears to be a dependable reading face that carries subtle classical character while maintaining a composed, consistent page color.
Distinctive, recognizable forms (notably the looped “g” and the “Q” with an internal tail) add character without breaking the conventional text rhythm. The face maintains a consistent, readable texture in the paragraph sample, balancing crisp serif edges with smooth curve transitions.
