A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and clean, tapered terminals that give the outlines a crisp, slightly chiseled finish. Strokes show noticeable but controlled contrast, with smooth curves and steady vertical stress, producing an even, text-oriented rhythm. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned; the lowercase is compact and steady with clear counters and sturdy joins, supporting continuous reading. Numerals are sturdy and traditional in feel, matching the letterforms’ measured, authoritative presence.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and clear counters help maintain comfort across paragraphs. It also works effectively for formal documents, reports, and headings that need a traditional, credible voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a bookish, institutional confidence. Its sharp serifs and balanced contrast add a formal, editorial flavor without feeling ornamental or showy.
The design appears aimed at a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar proportions, controlled contrast, and crisp bracketed serifs that support clarity and a classic typographic tone across both headlines and extended copy.
In paragraph setting it maintains a consistent color and clear word shapes, with punctuation and dots reading cleanly at text sizes. The serif treatment and terminals add definition that helps the forms stay distinct in dense lines.
