This serif shows clearly bracketed serifs, tapered stems, and pronounced thick–thin modulation that becomes especially evident in round letters and numerals. Curves feel smoothly drawn with a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle-leaning construction, while capitals maintain sturdy proportions and sharp, well-defined serifs. Lowercase forms are readable and traditional, with a two-storey “g” and a gently flowing “a,” and the overall rhythm is steady with balanced spacing. Numerals are proportional and varied in width, with strong contrast and refined detailing in bowls and joins.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits reports, academic material, and print-forward branding that benefits from a classic, authoritative typographic voice.
The tone is bookish and composed, with a quiet authority typical of classic text serifs. It reads as established and trustworthy, lending a traditional, literary voice rather than a trendy or expressive one.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-quality reading serif that prioritizes familiar letterforms, steady texture, and refined contrast for comfortable, formal typesetting.
Serif shapes are consistently bracketed rather than slab-like, and terminals tend toward crisp, slightly angled finishes. The design holds up well in paragraph settings, where the contrast and serifs provide clear word shapes and a familiar reading texture.
