A serif design with crisp, wedge-like serifs and gently flared terminals that give strokes a subtly calligraphic feel. Curves are smooth and open, with moderated stroke contrast and a calm, bookish rhythm in text. The uppercase leans toward classical proportions with sharp, tapered serifs, while the lowercase shows oldstyle cues such as a two-storey “g,” a slightly angled “e” crossbar, and a lightly curved “t” with a pronounced foot. Numerals appear oldstyle (with varying heights and descenders), reinforcing a traditional, text-oriented character.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and literary or cultural publishing where a classical serif voice is desired. It can also serve in elegant stationery, programs, or heritage-leaning brand materials, especially at text and display sizes where the tapered serifs and oldstyle numerals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting editorial polish and a measured, authoritative voice. Its pointed serifs and refined modulation add a faintly ceremonial, heritage flavor without becoming overly ornate.
Likely intended to provide a classic reading experience with a slightly decorative, sharpened serif treatment—balancing traditional text-serif conventions with more distinctive, pointed terminals for character.
The design mixes sharp, tapered detailing with relatively generous counters, helping maintain clarity in running text. Diagonals and joins remain clean and controlled, and the spacing in the sample paragraph reads even and composed at larger text sizes.
