A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderately stressed curves, and a balanced text rhythm. Strokes show clear modulation without becoming delicate, with sturdy verticals and tapered joins that keep the color even across lines. Capitals are proportioned with restrained width and crisp, slightly wedge-like finishing, while the lowercase maintains clear bowls and open apertures for comfortable reading. Numerals follow the same sober, bookish construction, with smooth curves and firm serifs that match the letters.
Well suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady serif texture and reliable readability are priorities. It can also support headings, pull quotes, and formal documents that benefit from a classic typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a distinctly editorial, book-oriented feel. It reads as authoritative and refined rather than decorative, projecting a calm professionalism suited to long-form communication.
The design appears aimed at a dependable, general-purpose reading serif that performs predictably in paragraphs while still offering enough stroke modulation and serif shaping to feel traditional and crafted.
Details like the crisp diagonal in the K, the cleanly cut crossbars, and the gently flared terminals in curved letters contribute to a polished, print-like presence. Spacing appears measured and consistent, helping paragraphs set with a stable, familiar texture.
