A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and gently cupped terminals that give the outlines a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle feel. The proportions are balanced with compact, readable counters and smooth curves; joins are rounded rather than sharp, which softens the texture in continuous reading. Uppercase forms feel steady and slightly wide in stance, while lowercase shows familiar text-serifs structure with a two-storey “a,” a two-storey “g,” and a clear, vertical stress in rounded letters. Numerals are lining and robust, with open curves and a comfortable, editorial rhythm.
Well-suited to book and long-form reading, including novels, essays, and academic or reference layouts. It also fits editorial design such as magazines and newspaper-style features, and can extend to formal branding, certificates, and invitations where a traditional serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting printed pages, established institutions, and editorial credibility. Its softened terminals and moderate contrast keep it approachable rather than austere, supporting a calm, dependable voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and an established typographic tone. Its moderated contrast and rounded detailing aim to keep pages comfortable and consistent, while still projecting a classic, authoritative character.
At text sizes the face builds an even, dark-enough color with clear word shapes and stable spacing, while the serifs add a gentle horizontal emphasis that aids line tracking. The italics are not shown; the presented style reads as a straightforward roman suitable for sustained composition.
