A classic text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and gently calligraphic shaping. Curves show a subtle diagonal stress, while verticals remain steady and upright, producing an even, readable rhythm. Terminals are softly tapered rather than sharply cut, and joins feel slightly organic, giving counters and bowls a warm, open presence. The capitals are sturdy and measured with slightly flared details, and the lowercase maintains a comfortable x-height with clear differentiation in forms.
Well-suited to body text in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where sustained readability and a traditional voice are desired. It also works effectively for pull quotes, chapter titles, and academic or cultural materials that benefit from a classic serif texture.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a warm, human touch that feels familiar rather than austere. It suggests editorial authority and heritage without becoming overly formal, balancing refinement with an approachable, lived-in texture.
Likely designed to provide a dependable, comfortable reading face that draws on calligraphic, old-style proportions while staying restrained and versatile. The aim appears to be a balanced text color with enough character in the serifs and terminals to feel human and established.
In text, spacing reads relaxed and consistent, supporting smooth horizontal flow. The numerals appear oldstyle (with varying heights and ascenders/descenders), reinforcing an editorial, classical feel. The italic is not shown, and the displayed style relies on roman shapes for emphasis and clarity.
