A traditional serif with moderately bracketed, wedge-like serifs and crisp, slightly pointed terminals. Stems stay fairly sturdy while curves narrow subtly into joins, creating a steady, medium-contrast texture. Proportions lean broad, with generous capitals and open counters; the rhythm reads measured rather than tight. Letterforms show small calligraphic inflections—particularly in the diagonals and arm endings—without becoming ornate, keeping the overall color even and text-friendly.
Works well for long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. The broad proportions and decisive serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding that needs a traditional, established feel.
The tone is classic and institutional, suggesting formality and trust. Its sharp serifs and confident silhouettes give it an authoritative, bookish voice suited to serious content rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances readability with a slightly sharpened, engraved-like presence. It aims to deliver a dependable page color while adding enough crispness at the terminals to feel refined and authoritative.
Numerals and capitals feel especially sturdy and prominent, with clear, traditional shapes and strong top/bottom anchoring. The italics are not shown; the samples suggest a design optimized for clear paragraph texture and emphatic headlines.
