This serif features gently bracketed, slightly flared serifs and a subtly calligraphic stroke modulation. Curves are broad and open, with rounded bowls and soft transitions that keep the texture smooth in continuous text. Capitals are stately and spacious, while lowercase forms show traditional proportions with clear counters and moderate descenders; the two-storey “g” and the lively “y” and “k” add a slightly humanist, oldstyle flavor. Numerals are proportional and serifed, matching the text rhythm rather than reading as strictly tabular.
It suits book interiors, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where a steady, traditional serif texture is desired. The generous proportions and open counters also make it a good choice for pull quotes, section heads, and other print-forward typography that benefits from a composed, classical voice.
Overall it conveys a classical, literary tone—measured and traditional rather than trendy. The wide, unhurried shapes and gentle serif treatment give it an editorial calm that feels appropriate for established institutions and long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional reading serif with a touch of oldstyle warmth—prioritizing comfortable rhythm, clear counters, and a refined, established presence across both display lines and running text.
Distinctive details include a prominent, sweeping tail on the capital “Q,” a slightly curved leg on “R,” and soft, wedge-like terminals on several diagonals. The spacing appears generous, which helps maintain clarity and an even gray value in paragraph settings.
