This typeface is a conventional serif with bracketed serifs and softly tapered, triangular terminals. Strokes show moderate modulation, with rounded joins and a steady, book-oriented rhythm that reads smoothly in paragraph settings. Proportions feel balanced and traditional, with generous counters and clear differentiation between similar forms; the uppercase has sturdy, slightly sculpted shapes while the lowercase maintains an even, readable texture. Numerals appear to be oldstyle figures, mixing ascenders and descenders for a text-friendly, historically rooted look.
It works especially well for book typography, magazines, and other editorial layouts where sustained readability and a consistent text color matter. It can also support formal documents, reports, and identity systems that need a traditional serif voice without heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying a calm, authoritative voice without feeling rigid. It suggests editorial credibility and a familiar, humanist warmth, making it well-suited to content that benefits from tradition and restraint.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: traditional in construction, comfortable in continuous reading, and versatile enough to scale from body copy to headings while preserving a composed, professional presence.
Curved letters like C, G, and S show smooth, controlled curvature with modest flare at terminals, while diagonals in letters such as V, W, and Y feel stable rather than sharp. The italics are not shown; the sample emphasizes the upright’s even color and comfortable spacing at larger display sizes.
