A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, modulated stroke weight, and a gently calligraphic rhythm. The capitals are sturdy and well-proportioned, with broad curves and clear joins; rounded letters keep an even color while diagonals stay crisp. Lowercase forms read as oldstyle-leaning, with a double-storey “a,” a two-storey “g,” and softly tapered terminals that avoid blunt cuts. Numerals follow the same text-forward logic, with open counters and traditional proportions that sit comfortably in running copy.
Well-suited to body text in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where an even reading texture and classical serif cues are beneficial. It can also serve for academic or institutional materials, as well as headings and pull quotes when a traditional, trustworthy tone is desired.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with a quiet confidence suited to established institutions and long-form reading. It conveys seriousness without stiffness, suggesting a familiar, heritage-minded voice rather than a highly stylized one.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and familiar proportions, while retaining subtle oldstyle warmth through its modulation and terminal shaping.
Details such as the pointed “W,” the curved tail on “Q,” and the subtly flared finishing strokes add character while keeping the texture consistent across lines. In the sample text, spacing and word shapes appear steady, supporting comfortable continuous reading and clear hierarchy when set larger.
