A conventional serif with sturdy, slightly flared strokes and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that give a subtly carved, calligraphic texture. Curves are round and full, while joins and terminals often sharpen into angled points, producing a crisp rhythm across words. Capitals are broad and confident with pronounced serifs, and lowercase forms keep a clear, readable structure with a two-storey “a” and compact counters. Figures appear lining and serifed, matching the text color and maintaining consistent weight and spacing.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes that benefit from a traditional, authoritative tone, and for reports or formal documents that need a clear, composed typographic color.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a classical seriousness that reads as academic and trustworthy. The pointed terminals add a touch of drama, giving headings a slightly old-style, literary presence without feeling decorative or eccentric.
The font appears designed as a dependable text serif with a classic foundation, enhanced by sharper, slightly calligraphic terminals to add character and emphasis in display sizes. Its proportions and consistent detailing suggest an aim for versatile editorial use—comfortable for paragraphs while still offering presence in titles and lead-ins.
The design mixes smooth bowl shapes with angular cuts at terminals (notably in letters like J, K, R, and k), creating a lively texture at larger sizes while remaining coherent for continuous reading. Uppercase and lowercase feel well-matched in color, and the numerals align naturally with the text style for mixed-content settings.
