A traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke flow. Curves are smooth and open, with moderate modulation that stays even and readable in text. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow with sharp apexes (notably in A and V), while the lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a sturdy, straight-backed h, and a long-tailed Q that sweeps outward. Numerals are lining and proportioned to sit comfortably with capitals, keeping the same restrained contrast and crisp terminals.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture and comfortable readability are priorities. It can also serve in institutional materials, invitations, and identity work that benefits from a conservative, established voice.
The tone is classical and literary, evoking editorial typography and established book design. It reads as polished and reserved rather than decorative, with a quiet elegance that supports long-form reading.
Likely drawn to provide a dependable, classic reading face with subtly oldstyle proportions and enough stroke modulation to feel refined without becoming fragile. The design balances tradition with clarity, aiming for a calm, consistent page color in extended text.
Letterspacing and rhythm look consistent across the alphabet, with clear interior counters and restrained detailing that keeps the texture smooth in paragraphs. The italic is not shown; the sample reflects a roman style designed to remain composed at larger display sizes as well as in continuous text.
