A crisp serif text face with bracketed serifs and gently flared terminals. Strokes show moderate modulation with smooth transitions into the serifs, producing a steady, bookish rhythm. Proportions are balanced with open counters and a calm, even color in paragraph settings; capitals are stately without feeling overly wide. The lowercase has a traditional construction—double-storey “a” and “g,” a modestly tapered “t,” and a relatively compact “f”—that supports continuous reading.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and reports where an even texture and clear word shapes matter. It also works for editorial layouts, cultural institutions, and formal communications that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking traditional publishing and editorial typography. It feels composed and trustworthy, with a refined presence that suits serious content without appearing ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-legibility serif for continuous text, balancing elegance with restraint. Its moderate modulation, open forms, and text-friendly numerals suggest an emphasis on comfortable reading and typographic neutrality with a classic flavor.
Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and extenders that blend naturally into running text. The italic is not shown, but the roman exhibits subtle calligraphic influence in curves and joins, especially in letters like “e,” “c,” and “s,” lending warmth while remaining restrained.
