A traditional serif with pronounced stroke contrast and bracketed, gently flared serifs. The letterforms show moderated, oldstyle-like proportions with round counters, tapered terminals, and a steady baseline rhythm that reads smoothly in continuous text. Capitals are stately and evenly weighted, while the lowercase has compact bowls and clear joins; the numerals align with the same crisp, high-contrast logic and include small finishing strokes that reinforce a typographic, print-oriented feel.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, journals, and magazine typography where a conventional serif voice is desired. It can also serve for chapter openings, pull quotes, and refined headlines that benefit from high contrast and crisp detailing.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its sharp serifs and controlled contrast communicate seriousness and authority without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif with a slightly oldstyle, print-classical character, aiming for clarity in reading while preserving a formal, cultured presence.
Curves resolve into fine, pointed terminals in places (notably on diagonals and some lowercase exits), adding a subtle calligraphic edge. Spacing appears balanced and consistent across the sample paragraph, supporting comfortable line setting at text sizes while still offering enough contrast for display use.
