A traditional serif with bracketed, gently flared terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The strokes show calligraphic stress and crisp joins, with relatively narrow apertures and a steady, even rhythm across words. Capitals are stately and proportioned for headings, while the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height and clear ascenders/descenders. The numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and a mix of ascenders and descenders that blend naturally into text.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a conventional serif voice is desired, especially for essays, reports, and other long-form reading. It also scales effectively for titles and section headings, where its contrast and sharp finishing details add a formal, established tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting credibility and a measured, editorial seriousness. Its restrained contrast and familiar book-serif shapes suggest tradition and clarity rather than display eccentricity.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif with a traditional print sensibility—aiming for legibility, an even reading rhythm, and an authoritative presence across both body copy and larger sizes.
Counters and bowls are kept fairly compact, contributing to a dense, text-forward color. Serifs are neither hairline nor heavy; they read as carefully bracketed and slightly tapered, helping lines of text feel continuous and composed.
