A conventional text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms show a calligraphic influence with softly tapered terminals and a steady, readable rhythm. Capitals are sturdy and relatively wide, while lowercase forms keep open counters and clear apertures, supporting continuous reading. Round letters (like O and o) exhibit subtle stress, and the numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and descenders, matching the text-centered tone.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, reports, and editorial layouts where a stable, familiar serif voice is desired. It also works for headlines, chapter titles, and pull quotes that need a traditional, authoritative presence without heavy contrast.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a composed, editorial seriousness. It feels traditional and trustworthy rather than flashy, leaning toward established print conventions and formal communication.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: prioritizing legibility, even texture, and conventional proportions while adding mild calligraphic warmth through bracketed serifs and subtle stroke modulation.
Details like the angled arm on the Q, the balanced, slightly arched joins in letters such as n and m, and the compact, well-bracketed serifs contribute to a cohesive page color. Spacing in the sample text suggests it holds up well at larger text sizes and headings, preserving clarity without appearing mechanical.
