A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a slightly calligraphic modulation that gives the strokes a lively, engraved feel. Capitals are sturdy and open, with clear, classical proportions and gently curving joins; the lowercase shows compact, well-defined counters and a steady baseline rhythm. The contrast is noticeable without becoming hairline-thin, and the serifs read as refined wedges rather than heavy slabs, producing a crisp texture in paragraphs.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for magazine headings, pull quotes, and institutional communications that benefit from a composed, authoritative typographic tone.
The overall tone feels classic and bookish, with an editorial seriousness that suggests print heritage. Its sharp, slightly spirited details add a touch of character, keeping it from feeling purely neutral while still remaining formal and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif reading experience with a refined, slightly expressive stroke modulation. It aims to balance clarity and tradition, offering a dependable page texture while retaining enough detail to feel crafted rather than generic.
Numerals are clear and traditionally shaped, matching the text color and contrast of the letters. The punctuation and dots appear firm and round, and the capitals hold up well for headings while the lowercase remains readable in continuous text.
