A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, a moderately tall x-height, and clear stroke modulation that gives it a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle feel. Curves show a gentle diagonal stress, with open counters and smoothly drawn joins that keep letters readable at text sizes. The serifs are small and tapered rather than slabby, and the overall color is even despite the contrast, helped by sturdy verticals and well-controlled thinning on curves. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varied heights and some descending forms, aligning visually with the lowercase rhythm.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where a traditional serif voice and comfortable rhythm are priorities. It also works for literary headlines, pull quotes, and formal print materials that benefit from an established, classical texture.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and traditional without feeling overly ornate. Its contrast and oldstyle cues add refinement, while the generous internal space keeps the mood approachable and editorial.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, traditional reading face with a touch of oldstyle character—balancing crisp contrast and bracketed serifs with open forms for clarity in continuous text.
The spacing and proportions suggest a text-first design, with a steady baseline rhythm and clear differentiation between similar forms. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in presence, pairing cleanly with the more lively lowercase and oldstyle figures.
