A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves show a diagonal stress, with rounded bowls and teardrop/ball terminals visible in letters like a, c, and f. Proportions are slightly expanded with open counters and steady, measured spacing, giving lines a calm, readable rhythm. Numerals appear oldstyle, with ascenders and descenders that blend naturally into text.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports sustained legibility. It also fits headings, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a traditional, established feel, especially when paired with generous leading and margins.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting authority without feeling rigid. It reads as traditional and editorial, suited to content that wants a timeless, trustworthy voice rather than a trendy or experimental one.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that balances classic detailing with clear counters and consistent rhythm. Its contrast and terminal shaping add refinement while keeping the overall voice conventional and versatile for editorial typography.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and centered, while the lowercase shows more calligraphic detail in terminals and joins, adding warmth to the texture. The italic is not shown; the displayed style emphasizes clarity and a comfortable text color at paragraph sizes.
