A classic text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a slightly calligraphic flavor. The letterforms show diagonal stress in rounded shapes, sturdy verticals, and gently tapered terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming ornate. Proportions lean toward compact, readable forms with clear counters and a steady rhythm; lowercase shapes are relatively broad, and capitals feel solid and dignified. The numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and extenders, contributing to a traditional, book-oriented color on the page.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as book interiors, essays, journals, and editorial pages where sustained legibility and a familiar serif texture are desired. It can also serve effectively for formal headings and pull quotes when a classic, understated voice is needed.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed books, academic writing, and editorial typography. Its restrained detailing and steady rhythm communicate reliability and seriousness while retaining a touch of warmth from the subtly calligraphic modulation.
The design appears intended as a conventional, dependable serif for continuous text, balancing traditional proportions and bracketed serifs with enough stroke modulation to keep the page texture engaging. The inclusion of oldstyle numerals reinforces a book-typography orientation and a historically informed feel.
The face maintains a consistent, even paragraph color at text sizes, with serifs and terminals that help guide horizontal flow. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright.
