A refined serif with bracketed, gently tapered serifs and softly modulated strokes. The letterforms show an oldstyle-leaning rhythm: round characters have a subtle diagonal stress, and curves transition smoothly into stems without abrupt joins. Proportions feel traditional, with compact lowercase and a relatively short x-height that keeps ascenders prominent; spacing reads even and controlled in text. Details like the flowing tail on Q, the angled terminals on C and S, and the two-storey a and g reinforce a classic text-serifs construction.
This face is well suited to continuous reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a familiar, classical texture is desired. It also fits formal documents and report typography, offering clarity and a traditional tone in headings and subheads without becoming decorative.
The overall tone is literary and composed, conveying a sense of tradition and quiet authority rather than showiness. Its restrained contrast and calm proportions give it a dependable, editorial voice suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-readability serif with a classic, oldstyle-informed flavor—prioritizing consistent texture, comfortable spacing, and a timeless presence for text-centric typography.
Numerals appear text-friendly with clear differentiation and consistent alignment with the surrounding letters. Uppercase forms are stately and balanced, while the lowercase keeps a steady cadence, with modestly sized serifs and clean terminals that avoid excessive ornament.
