A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The strokes show a subtle calligraphic influence with gently tapered terminals and a steady vertical posture. Proportions feel balanced and bookish, with a moderate x-height, rounded bowls, and a slightly lively rhythm from the contrast and curved joins. Numerals and capitals read clearly at display sizes, while the lowercase maintains an even, continuous texture suited to paragraphs.
Well suited to book and long-form reading, where the modeled serifs and steady rhythm support comfortable scanning. It also works effectively for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and institutional materials that need a traditional, credible voice.
The overall tone is classic and formal, with a literary, editorial feel. Its contrast and sharpened serifs convey authority and tradition without becoming overly ornate, making it feel appropriate for serious, established contexts.
Likely designed as a dependable, conventional serif for text-driven layouts, balancing refined contrast with sturdy letterforms to keep clarity across both small and larger sizes.
The design leans toward an oldstyle text-serf sensibility: open counters, softly modeled curves, and terminals that avoid geometric bluntness. The italic is not shown; the available upright shapes suggest a font intended to remain composed in continuous reading while still offering enough sparkle for headings.
