This serif shows a traditional, book-oriented structure with bracketed wedge serifs and clearly modulated strokes. Curves transition smoothly into stems, and the contrast is pronounced without feeling brittle, giving counters a stable, open shape. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in presence, while the lowercase reads as oldstyle-leaning with a two-storey “g” and “a,” a modestly angled crossbar on “e,” and softly cupped terminals. Numerals are proportional and text-like, with varied widths and classic contours that blend naturally into running copy.
It is well suited to body text in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a classical serif texture is desired. It can also support formal communication such as reports, academic materials, and institutional print, and it scales up cleanly for headings and pull quotes when a traditional tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking familiar print typography used for long-form reading. It feels composed and editorial—confident without ornament—suited to contexts that benefit from tradition, clarity, and a measured voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and an established typographic voice, combining strong stroke modulation with familiar oldstyle cues. Its restrained detailing and steady proportions suggest a focus on comfortable long-form setting and dependable editorial performance.
Spacing appears balanced for paragraph setting, with a steady rhythm and clear differentiation between similarly shaped characters (notably I/l and O/0 via serifing and proportion). The italics are not shown; all samples present an upright roman with consistent serif treatment across cases.
