A conventional text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and clearly modulated strokes. The contrast is noticeable without becoming hairline, and curves show a slightly calligraphic stress that reads as traditional and editorial. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, open counters, and sturdy capitals; numerals share the same oldstyle flavor with smooth curves and tapered terminals. Overall rhythm is even and legible, with crisp joins and gently flared details that keep the texture lively in paragraphs.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and section titles that need a traditional, authoritative voice.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone associated with printed literature and established institutions. Its restrained contrast and familiar forms feel trustworthy and composed, with a subtle elegance that suits formal communication without looking ornate.
The design appears intended as a dependable, all-purpose text serif that echoes historical book faces while staying clean and adaptable for modern editorial typography.
Uppercase forms are stately and calm, while lowercase characters keep a traditional, slightly oldstyle character in the bowls and terminals. The sample text shows a stable paragraph color and clear word shapes, suggesting comfortable reading at typical text sizes as well as confident display use at larger sizes.
