This typeface is a serif with robust, bracketed serifs and a gently modulated stroke that keeps a steady, readable rhythm. The forms lean slightly toward oldstyle construction: round letters have softened curvature, counters are fairly open, and several terminals finish in subtle balls or teardrops. Capitals are sturdy and classical, with a prominent Q featuring a sweeping tail and a slightly condensed, dignified presence in display sizes. Lowercase shows compact proportions with a comparatively small x-height and crisp ascender/descender structure; the a is double-storey, the g is single-storey, and the overall texture feels even but not mechanical. Numerals appear more traditional than geometric, with noticeable shape variation and a set that reads as oldstyle-style figures in the sample image.
It suits long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired, especially at comfortable text sizes. The stronger silhouettes and expressive capitals also make it effective for headlines, title treatments, and brand marks that want a traditional, literary character.
The tone is bookish and traditional, evoking print-era authority and a slightly antique charm. It feels formal without being severe, with small idiosyncrasies that add personality suitable for editorial or literary contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with a slightly decorative, oldstyle-leaning flavor—balancing familiar book typography cues with a handful of distinctive terminals and lettershape quirks for character.
Several glyphs show slightly flared or tapered joins and rounded serifs that keep the color warm on the page. The ampersand is bold and compact, and the overall design favors distinctive silhouettes over strict modern uniformity.
