This serif has sturdy, bracketed wedge serifs and a steady, moderately modulated stroke. Proportions feel traditional, with open counters and clear differentiation between thick and thin without becoming delicate. Uppercase forms are stately and fairly wide, while the lowercase shows classic text-face behavior with a compact rhythm, distinct ascenders/descenders, and a two-storey “g” and “a” that read cleanly in paragraph settings. Numerals align with the same oldstyle-influenced, slightly calligraphic shaping, helping maintain an even typographic color across mixed text.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, articles, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desirable. It also fits formal documents, academic material, and institutional communications that benefit from a restrained, familiar typographic voice.
The overall tone is conventional and bookish, projecting authority and calm. It reads as composed and familiar rather than expressive, with a subtle historic flavor that suits formal communication and long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif: comfortable at paragraph sizes, clear in mixed-case settings, and visually consistent across letters and figures while retaining a touch of classic, print-like sharpness in its serif terminals.
Serifs terminate in sharp, slightly flared triangles that give the face a crisp edge, especially in capitals like T, V, W, and Y. Curves (C, G, O, Q) remain smooth and controlled, and the punctuation and spacing in the sample text suggest a dependable, text-oriented rhythm.
