A classic serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and pronounced stroke modulation. The outlines show a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle construction: round letters have diagonal stress, serifs taper into stems, and joins are smoothly bracketed rather than abrupt. Proportions feel moderately wide with generous counters, and the texture in paragraphs stays even despite the contrast. Lowercase forms are traditional and readable, with compact ascenders/descenders and distinctive shapes (notably a two-storey g, a sturdy one-storey a, and a curved-tailed y). Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and a flowing, text-oriented rhythm.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desirable. It can also serve effectively for section heads, pull quotes, and cover/title typography when a classic, authoritative voice is needed.
The font conveys a bookish, established tone—confident and traditional, with a hint of historic print character. Its contrast and tapered serifs add a formal, editorial voice suited to content that benefits from gravitas rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literature-oriented text serif that balances strong contrast with steady paragraph color. Its bracketed serifs and oldstyle details aim to evoke traditional print typography while maintaining clarity in continuous reading.
Capitals are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, with crisp serifs and controlled curves that keep headings sharp. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman. The combination of oldstyle numerals and classic serif detailing suggests a text-first design sensibility.
