A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a sturdy, moderately contrasty stroke profile. Curves are full and rounded, while terminals and serifs show subtle flaring and soft join transitions rather than razor-sharp endings. The capitals feel slightly wide and steady, and the lowercase has compact, readable forms with a two-storey “a” and “g,” round i-dots, and a gently modulated rhythm that keeps text color even. Numerals are lining and fairly bold in presence, matching the confident, print-like texture of the letters.
Well suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or branding that benefits from a traditional, established voice and strong black-on-white presence.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting familiar, trustworthy typography with a hint of old-style warmth. Slight irregularities in stroke energy and the wedge serif shapes add a lively, humanist feel without becoming decorative or eccentric.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that balances conventional proportions with subtly calligraphic details. Its goal is to deliver dependable readability and a classic print sensibility, while maintaining enough character in the serifs and terminals to feel distinctive on the page.
In text, the font produces a dark, assertive typographic color with clear word shapes and stable spacing. The serifs are noticeable enough to guide horizontal flow, while counters remain open and round, helping the face stay legible at typical reading sizes.
