A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes. The forms show a subtle calligraphic influence: curved joins and softly flared terminals create an organic rhythm without becoming decorative. Proportions feel balanced and text-oriented, with moderate stroke modulation and open counters that keep the silhouette clear. Numerals appear oldstyle (with ascenders/descenders), reinforcing a traditional, editorial texture in running text.
Well suited to book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It should perform comfortably in body copy and captions, and can also support formal headings when set with generous tracking and leading.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting a calm, established voice suited to long-form reading. Its restrained detailing and familiar proportions read as refined and trustworthy rather than attention-seeking.
Likely designed as a dependable text serif for continuous reading, aiming for a familiar, time-tested feel with a touch of calligraphic warmth. The inclusion of oldstyle numerals suggests attention to editorial conventions and typographic nuance in publications.
In the sample text, the face maintains an even color and comfortable spacing, with serifs that help guide the eye along the line. The design leans toward a warm, humanist interpretation of the text-serif model, avoiding sharp, high-contrast drama in favor of steady readability.
