A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and subtly tapered strokes that give it a crisp, printed texture. The capitals are steady and relatively narrow with clean, vertical posture, while the lowercase shows a slightly more calligraphic rhythm through curved joins and gently modulated bowls. Counters are open and the curves are smooth, with terminals that feel cut rather than rounded. Numerals and punctuation follow the same restrained, text-oriented drawing, producing an even color in paragraphs without looking overly geometric.
Well-suited to book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable long-form reading. It also works for institutional or heritage-leaning branding, reports, and headings that need a classic, composed voice without heavy ornament.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a composed, editorial seriousness. It reads as trustworthy and established, lending a quiet authority rather than a flashy or decorative personality.
The design appears intended as a dependable, text-first serif that balances traditional proportions with a slightly sharpened, print-like finish. Its consistent rhythm and restrained detailing suggest a focus on clarity and an established, conventional tone across both display lines and running text.
Distinctive details include a two-storey “g” and “a,” a compact “t” with a modest crossbar, and a slightly pointed, elegant “W” and “V” that reinforce the crispness. The “Q” has a clear tail treatment and the italics are not shown, so the impression is firmly rooted in roman text settings.
