A traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a gently calligraphic modulation that produces a clear thick–thin rhythm without feeling delicate. Curves show a slight diagonal stress, and joins are smoothly bracketed, giving the forms a warm, bookish texture. Proportions are fairly compact with sturdy capitals and a lowercase that maintains clear counters and moderate extenders; the overall color stays even across words and lines. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and some descending forms, contributing to a classical text feel.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice and consistent paragraph color are desirable. It also scales effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from traditional authority.
The typeface reads as established and cultured, with an academic, print-forward tone. Its restrained contrast and traditional serif detailing suggest reliability and seriousness, while the slightly organic stress keeps it from feeling sterile or overly modern.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that balances classical book typography cues—bracketed serifs, diagonal stress, and oldstyle numerals—with enough weight and clarity for modern editorial layouts.
In the sample text, the font holds up well at larger sizes for headings, showing crisp serifs and confident verticals. The italic is not shown; the visible style emphasizes steady rhythm and conventional punctuation/letterfit appropriate to continuous reading.
