A serif design with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated strokes that create a steady text rhythm. The letters show a calligraphic influence in the way terminals taper and curve, while counters stay open and proportions feel comfortably traditional. Uppercase forms are sturdy and formal, and the lowercase has a rounded, bookish presence with a noticeable two-storey a and a classic, looping g.
Well-suited for long-form text such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an established, traditional serif voice is desired. It should also work for headings, pull quotes, and institutional materials that benefit from a classic, composed tone without looking overly ornate.
This typeface conveys a literary, cultivated tone with a slightly idiosyncratic, old-style warmth. It feels confident and readable, with a hint of traditional book typography rather than a crisp corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended for comfortable continuous reading, combining conventional serif structure with subtle humanist detailing. Its moderated contrast and bracketed serifs aim to remain calm on the page while still providing character and a sense of tradition.
The numerals are old-style in feel, integrating smoothly with lowercase text. Details like the Q’s sweeping tail and the curved, slightly tapered terminals add personality while keeping the overall texture even and readable.
