A compact serif with bracketed, slightly flared terminals and a calm, medium-contrast stroke rhythm. The letterforms feel gently calligraphic without becoming cursive, with rounded joins, softly cupped serifs, and subtle modulation that keeps counters open and readable. Proportions are tight and vertical, with relatively small sidebearings and a steady baseline presence; curves (C, G, S) are smooth and controlled, while diagonals (V, W, Y) are sturdy and clean. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and a more text-oriented feel than lining figures.
Well-suited to continuous reading in editorial layouts, book interiors, and long-form print where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve in sophisticated branding, packaging, or cultural-institution materials that benefit from a traditional, text-forward voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting printed pages, academic writing, and restrained elegance. It reads as composed and trustworthy rather than flashy, with just enough idiosyncrasy in its terminals and figure styling to feel distinctive.
Likely intended as a readable, print-centric serif that balances conventional book typography cues with subtle decorative terminal shaping. The oldstyle-style numerals and compact proportions reinforce a text-setting orientation while preserving a polished display presence at larger sizes.
The design maintains consistent serifs and modulation across uppercase and lowercase, with a slightly high-waisted silhouette in several letters and a measured, even color in text. The ampersand is conventional and serifed, matching the font’s reserved character.
