A traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a moderate, bookish contrast. Curves show a gentle diagonal stress, with round forms that stay open and readable, and joins that feel slightly calligraphic rather than purely geometric. Uppercase proportions are steady and dignified, while the lowercase features compact, well-modeled bowls and clearly differentiated shapes (notably the two-storey a and g, and a serifed, footed l). Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varied heights and descenders, reinforcing a text-first rhythm.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an established serif texture is desired. It can also serve headings and pull quotes when a traditional, cultured tone is appropriate, especially alongside similarly classic typography.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting authority without looking ornate. It feels suited to editorial and academic settings, with a calm, familiar voice that reads as established and trustworthy.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and an even typographic color while preserving subtle calligraphic nuance and traditional serif detailing.
The glyph set shows consistent serif treatment across caps and lowercase, with sturdy verticals and softly tapered diagonals. Curved terminals and teardrop-like finishing on some forms add warmth, while counters and apertures remain clear in running text.
