A traditional serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and clear modulation between thick and thin strokes. Curves show a mild diagonal stress, with rounded bowls and tapered joins that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. Capitals are stately and moderately wide, while the lowercase is compact with crisp terminals, a double-storey “a,” and a gently angled crossbar on “e.” Numerals align to the same sturdy, text-oriented rhythm, and the overall spacing reads even and well balanced for continuous setting.
Well suited to book and long-form reading, editorial layouts, and magazines where a classic serif texture is desirable. It can also serve headings, pull quotes, and formal print materials when set with comfortable leading, pairing especially well with restrained, modern sans companions for contrast.
The tone is classic and literary, projecting authority and polish without feeling overly ornate. Its calligraphic inflection adds warmth and a human touch, giving long passages a composed, editorial feel. Overall it suggests established institutions, traditional publishing, and careful, formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-first serif that balances clarity with traditional elegance. By combining strong serifs, clear contrast, and a subtly calligraphic construction, it aims to deliver dependable readability while maintaining a cultured, authoritative voice.
The serifs are pronounced but not slabby, with smooth bracketing that helps lines of text flow. Pointed apexes and tapered strokes (notably in diagonals and joins) contribute to a refined, slightly oldstyle character and a textured page color at larger sizes.
