This serif typeface presents sturdy, well-balanced letterforms with clearly bracketed serifs and softly tapered terminals. Strokes show a moderate, readable contrast with smooth transitions into serifs, and the overall rhythm feels open due to broad proportions and generous sidebearings. Uppercase letters are stately and evenly weighted, while the lowercase uses gently oldstyle-influenced shapes with a two-storey “a,” compact “e,” and rounded bowls that keep counters clear at text sizes. Numerals share the same steady color and traditional proportions, with rounded figures like 0/6/8/9 and more upright, simple 1/7 forms.
It suits extended reading in books and long-form editorial layouts, as well as pull quotes, headings, and subheads where a traditional serif voice is desired. The broad proportions and clear counters also make it a practical option for formal documents and print-oriented reading contexts.
The tone is classic and composed, leaning toward a bookish, editorial voice rather than decorative display. Its calm contrast and traditional detailing suggest reliability and authority, with a slightly warm, human reading texture.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a polished, established typographic tone. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serif treatment aim to deliver a dependable, classic page color across both display sizes and continuous text.
In the text sample, the type maintains a consistent grayscale and comfortable word shape, helped by the open spacing and stable baseline. The design avoids sharp, overly calligraphic quirks, favoring conventional forms that feel familiar and easy to scan across lines.
