A conventional text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and subtly calligraphic modulation. Strokes show moderate contrast and smooth transitions into terminals, with gently tapered joins that keep counters open and readable. Proportions are balanced and slightly varied across glyphs, producing a lively but controlled rhythm; uppercase forms feel stately and even, while lowercase has a traditional, book-face texture with rounded bowls and a steady baseline.
This face is well-suited to body copy in books, editorial layouts, and other text-forward settings where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable reading. It can also serve effectively for headings, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a classic, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a calm, authoritative presence suited to long-form reading. Its restrained contrast and traditional detailing communicate refinement without feeling ornate, giving it a dependable, editorial character.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional reading serif that balances historical cues with clean, contemporary drawing. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs aim to deliver a stable page color, reliable legibility, and a timeless typographic voice.
Details such as the angled crossbar on the uppercase A, the curved leg on R, and the expressive tail on Q reinforce a traditional serif voice. Numerals appear proportionate and readable with clear stroke endings, matching the text’s overall texture and formality.
