A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and clear oldstyle-to-transitional cues. Strokes show noticeable contrast with sturdy verticals and finer hairlines, and the rounds exhibit a subtle vertical stress. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and evenly paced, while the lowercase has compact, readable shapes with a moderate x-height and slightly calligraphic terminals (notably in the ear of “g” and the curved descenders in “j” and “y”). Numerals are aligned and sturdy, with open counters and straightforward, print-oriented forms that match the text rhythm.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and reports where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or academic materials that benefit from a refined, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is classic and composed, conveying a literary, editorial sensibility. It reads as trustworthy and established rather than trendy, with a dignified formality suited to traditional typography.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif with a traditional construction and strong readability. Its contrast and crisp serifs aim to provide a polished, print-classic appearance while maintaining an even, composed paragraph color.
At larger sizes the serifs and stroke transitions look crisp and well-defined, giving the face a confident presence in headings as well as comfortable texture in paragraphs. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates a steady, even color and a familiar serif rhythm.
