A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle construction. Curves are full and smooth, with sturdy joins and subtly tapered terminals that keep counters open at text sizes. The uppercase feels stately and compact with strong verticals, while the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with two-storey a and g, a gently angled e crossbar, and a restrained, readable texture across words and lines. Numerals appear lining and well-proportioned, with clear differentiation and modest contrast that matches the letters.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits headlines and subheads in publications that want a classic, authoritative tone without excessive delicacy.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, evoking traditional print typography and established editorial voice. It reads as dependable and serious rather than fashionable, lending an academic or literary atmosphere to longer passages.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes legibility and a familiar, traditional voice. Its moderate contrast and sturdy serifs suggest it was drawn to hold up in continuous settings while still offering a refined, print-like character.
Serifs are consistently bracketed and relatively sturdy, helping maintain even color in paragraphs. The design favors clarity over ornament: shapes are familiar and conservative, with measured spacing and a steady baseline presence in the sample text.
