This is a conventional serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, bookish rhythm. Curves show subtle calligraphic stress, with rounded bowls and open apertures that keep text from feeling cramped. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase has smooth joins and clear, sturdy stems; the italic is not shown, and the roman remains consistent and upright. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with ascenders/descenders, helping them blend naturally into running text.
It suits long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comprehension. It also works well for magazine features and literary or academic typography where a traditional, trustworthy tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial restraint. It feels authoritative without being ornate, giving pages a composed, established voice suited to serious reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar forms, moderate contrast, and bracketed serifs tuned for a calm reading rhythm. The use of oldstyle numerals suggests an emphasis on harmonious integration of numbers within continuous text.
Details like the two-storey “a,” the ear on “g,” and the gently bracketed terminals reinforce a traditional text-serf construction. The sample paragraph shows even color and comfortable spacing at larger sizes, with clear word shapes and a measured contrast that reads as refined rather than stark.
