A traditional serif with bracketed terminals and a moderately calligraphic stroke flow. The letters show clear thick–thin modulation without becoming delicate, with sturdy stems and softly tapered serifs that create a smooth reading rhythm. Proportions are slightly expanded, giving capitals and numerals a broad, open stance; counters are generous and curves are well-rounded. Lowercase forms feel text-oriented, with a two-storey a and g, compact joins, and a legible, upright structure that stays even across the alphabet.
This face suits sustained reading in books, reports, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. The slightly wide proportions and open counters can help maintain clarity in comfortable text sizes, while the strong capitals also work for headings, title pages, and formal collateral.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, leaning toward established editorial typography rather than display theatrics. Its calm rhythm and familiar serif vocabulary convey authority and reliability, with a subtly warm, humanist edge.
The design appears intended as a conventional, dependable text serif with broad proportions and measured contrast, aiming for readability and a timeless typographic voice. It prioritizes consistent spacing and an even page color, making it suitable for narrative and informational typography.
The numerals appear robust and well-balanced, matching the lowercase color without looking lighter. Diacritics and punctuation shown in the sample text sit cleanly, and the ampersand has a conventional, readable construction rather than a decorative flourish.
