A classic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently tapered strokes. The letterforms show moderate-to-high contrast with smooth transitions into the serifs, producing a steady, text-friendly rhythm. Capitals are broad and stately with open counters; the lowercase has rounded bowls, a two-storey “a,” and a double-storey “g,” with softly modulated terminals that keep the shapes warm rather than mechanical. Numerals follow the same traditional, proportional feel, with clear curves and balanced spacing suitable for continuous reading.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable reading. It also fits academic or institutional materials and corporate communications that benefit from a conservative, established voice, and it can serve as a dependable choice for headings when a classic look is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking editorial typography and printed literature. Its sturdy, dignified shapes read as trustworthy and established, with a subtle calligraphic influence that adds refinement without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif with a traditional printed character. Its proportions, bracketing, and controlled contrast aim to deliver clarity and authority while preserving a familiar literary presence.
In the sample text, the face maintains even color across lines and holds up well at larger text sizes, where the contrast and serif shaping become more pronounced. Curved letters (C, O, S) and diagonals (V, W, Y) retain a consistent modulation that reinforces a cohesive, classic texture.
