A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. Capitals are sturdy and moderately wide, with tapered terminals and sharp joins that give the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. The lowercase shows a compact, text-oriented rhythm with a two-storey “a” and “g,” open counters, and slightly asymmetric, calligraphic shaping in letters like “e,” “s,” and “k.” Numerals include oldstyle figures with noticeable ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a traditional reading texture.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and other longform editorial contexts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits headings and pull quotes in magazines or academic layouts, especially when paired with generous leading to let the contrast and serifs stay crisp.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking established print typography and a sense of authority. Its contrast and crisp serifs add formality, while the subtly calligraphic details keep it warm enough for sustained reading.
The font appears intended as a conventional, print-rooted text serif that balances readability with a refined, high-contrast presence. Its oldstyle numerals and bracketed serifs suggest an aim toward classic composition and editorial credibility rather than novelty.
The design maintains a consistent baseline and spacing feel across the alphabet, with clear differentiation between similar forms (e.g., I/l and O/0 through serifing and proportions). The punctuation and curves appear clean and controlled, suggesting a focus on dependable text color rather than overt display quirks.
