A traditional serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and softly rounded joins that give the strokes a slightly calligraphic feel. The letterforms show moderate contrast with pronounced thick verticals and tapered, well-controlled terminals. Uppercase proportions are stately and balanced, while the lowercase has a compact, sturdy rhythm with generous counters and clear apertures. Details like the ear on “g,” the angled leg on “R,” and the curved descender on “y” reinforce an oldstyle, text-oriented construction, and the numerals appear lining with similarly bracketed finishing.
This font is well-suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a conventional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively in formal documents, academic or institutional materials, and traditional branding where reliability and readability are priorities.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting editorial seriousness and tradition rather than minimalism or display eccentricity. It feels confident and established—appropriate for settings that benefit from a familiar, literary voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that combines classical proportions with sturdy detailing for clear reading and an established, literary character.
The forms maintain a consistent serif treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures, with rounded ball-like terminals appearing in a few places (notably in the lowercase). Spacing and sidebearings look tuned for continuous reading, producing an even typographic color in the paragraph sample.
