A conventional text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and clear stroke modulation that reads as crisp and high-contrast without becoming hairline. The capitals are stately and moderately wide, with a steady rhythm and slightly tapered terminals that suggest a calligraphic influence. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with ball terminals and teardrop/flag-like endings on letters such as a, c, f, and r, and a single-storey g with a rounded ear. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varying heights and extenders, reinforcing a traditional text color and an editorial feel.
Well suited to book typography, magazines, and editorial layouts where a familiar, authoritative serif voice is desired. The contrast and crisp serifs also support elegant headlines and pull quotes, while the steady lowercase makes it practical for longer passages in print or high-resolution digital settings.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed books, scholarly publishing, and traditional editorial typography. It feels refined and composed, with a quietly formal presence suited to serious content rather than overt personality.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that balances readability with a refined, classical finish. Its moderated contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle numerals suggest an aim toward comfortable longform composition with an established, book-centric aesthetic.
The italic is not shown, and the samples indicate a design optimized for continuous reading: counters stay open, serifs remain distinct at text sizes, and the stroke contrast adds polish in headings. The combination of ball terminals and bracketed serifs gives it a slightly warm, humanist texture compared with more rigid modern serifs.
