A classic serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a gently calligraphic construction. The capitals are stately and open, with a slightly flared, traditional feel in letters like C, G, and S, and a wide, stable M. Lowercase forms show a compact x-height with clear ascenders and descenders, a two-storey a, a two-storey g with a distinct ear, and a readable, slightly angled stress. Terminals and serifs are finely shaped rather than blunt, giving the face a crisp text rhythm without looking rigid.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady serif rhythm aids legibility. It also fits formal communication—reports, programs, invitations, and institutional branding—especially when a conventional, trustworthy text voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, suggesting editorial authority and a calm, cultivated voice. Its restrained contrast and familiar proportions communicate seriousness and credibility while retaining a warm, humanist softness in curves and joins.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that balances crisp detail with comfortable readability. Its compact lowercase and traditional serif shaping prioritize a familiar, literary texture that holds up in continuous text while still looking refined in display sizes.
Figures are lining and proportional, with varied widths across the set (notably 1, 4, and 0), supporting a more text-like, typographic texture rather than a strictly tabular look. The punctuation and ampersand in the sample appear consistent with the same classic serif detailing, maintaining an even color in paragraph settings.
