A conventional text serif with bracketed wedge serifs and a pronounced thick–thin modulation. The shapes are upright and open, with relatively generous horizontal proportions and steady rhythm in running text. Curves show subtle calligraphic swelling, terminals are crisp, and joins are clean, giving counters a calm, readable structure. Numerals align comfortably with the text color, with clear distinction between rounded and angular forms.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and long-form reading where a familiar serif voice is desired. It can also support academic or institutional materials and refined branding systems that need a dependable, traditional text companion for headlines and body copy.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, conveying polish and authority without becoming ornamental. Its contrast and disciplined serifs suggest editorial seriousness, while the slightly expansive proportions keep it approachable and legible in longer passages.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classic serif for text-first settings, balancing strong contrast with robust, readable letterforms. It aims for a timeless, print-oriented voice that maintains clarity and composure across paragraphs and typographic scales.
Uppercase forms read stately and stable, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar letters through distinct bowls, beaks, and tails. The italic is not shown, so the style reads as a straightforward roman suited to continuous reading and typographic hierarchy.
