A traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderately tapered strokes that suggest a calligraphic foundation. The capitals are stately and open, with generous counters and a steady rhythm, while the lowercase shows a compact, readable texture with clearly modeled joins and softly modulated curves. Details like the two-storey a and g, the curved descender on y, and the angled terminals on letters such as t and f reinforce a classic text-serif construction. Numerals are oldstyle figures with varying heights and ascenders/descenders, blending naturally into running text.
Well suited for book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and consistent text color are needed. It can also support academic and institutional materials, as well as invitations or formal documents where a traditional typographic tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is literary and composed, evoking book typography, editorial tradition, and a sense of established authority. It feels formal without being cold, with enough warmth in the stroke modeling to stay inviting in long passages.
The design appears intended as a conventional reading serif that prioritizes legibility, steady rhythm, and a timeless presence. Its oldstyle numerals and restrained detailing suggest an emphasis on setting comfortable, authoritative text rather than creating a high-impact display style.
The italic is not shown, and the demonstrated forms emphasize clarity over display theatrics: open apertures, stable proportions, and crisp serifs that remain distinct at larger sizes. The sample text maintains an even color and comfortable spacing, indicating a design aimed at continuous reading.
