This serif typeface features bracketed serifs, moderate-to-high stroke contrast, and a calm upright stance. Capitals are stately with generous interior space and tapered joins, while curves show a subtly calligraphic modulation. Lowercase forms are traditional and readable, with a two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and slightly angled terminals that add warmth without becoming informal. Overall spacing and rhythm feel even, with clear word shapes and a dependable text color in paragraphs.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and publication design where a familiar serif voice improves readability. It also fits academic or institutional materials and can support branding that needs a traditional, trustworthy presence in headlines and supporting text.
The tone is classic and literary, conveying formality and credibility. Its restrained elegance reads as editorial and institutional rather than trendy, with enough warmth to feel inviting in longer passages.
The design intent appears to be a conventional text serif with a refined, slightly oldstyle flavor—prioritizing readability, stable proportions, and a polished editorial voice for continuous reading.
Numerals appear lining and proportioned to sit comfortably alongside capitals, with traditional serifed construction and clear differentiation between forms. The design maintains consistent modulation across straight and curved strokes, supporting a smooth texture from display sizes down to body text.
